Pick Your Perfect Pear
There many varieties of USA pears, each with their own unique color, flavor and texture.
Not Just A Sweet Treat
In addition to being an excellent source of fiber, pears also provide a variety of essential nutrients for supporting overall health – for instance, 1 medium pear provides 9% of the daily recommended levels for vitamin C and 4% DRV of potassium!
Ready To Pear
Do you know the trick to see if your non-Bartlett pear is ripe? Check the neck! Apply gentle pressure to the neck of the pear with your thumb. If it yields to pressure, it’s ripe. It’s that easy!
Preserve Your Pears
Not quite ready to use your pears and want to store them for later? Check out all the different methods for preserving your favorite fruit.

Are your pears overripe? Blend them into a smoothie instead of a trash can. Pears still too firm and hard? Dice them up and add them to a salad. Feeling a little thirsty? Try a pear lemonade. Discover how you can use pears in every meal!
