About Pears
Pears are the edible fruits of pear trees, commonly eaten fresh when ripe or used in cooking. They range from green and yellow to red or brown, with a rounded or elongated shape, juicy flesh and a central core containing seeds. Their flavour is typically sweet and aromatic, though firmness, graininess and juiciness vary by variety and ripeness.
Pears are sold whole and may also be cooked, dried, canned or otherwise processed. Fresh varieties can be crisp or soft when ripe, so neither texture nor flavour is identical across all pears; processing and added ingredients distinguish preserved forms from fresh fruit.
