✦ Dietary fibre ✦ Some vitamin C ✦ Potassium ✦ Low calorie

Medlars are a small russet-brown pome fruit, traditionally eaten bletted (softened by frost or storage) when the flesh turns soft and date-like. They offer fibre and small amounts of vitamin C and potassium, and are included to show nutritional differences across less common pome fruits.

Preparation note

Eaten raw once bletted; included to show how an unusual heritage pome fruit compares with mainstream apples and pears.

Why are some phytochemicals missing? Nutriofia tracks over 50 bioactive plant compounds — including allicin, betanin, glucosinolates, lignans, and polyphenols — but comprehensive measurement data simply doesn't exist yet for most foods. Unlike vitamins and minerals, phytochemical analysis is still an active area of food science research. When a compound doesn't appear here, it means no published measurement exists for this food, not that the food lacks it. We update our database as new data becomes available.
