Praised for its juicy, soft flesh encapsulated by a thin and tender skin, the pear is a seasonal delight that tantalizes the palate with a delicate sweetness and a hint of floral undertones. This succulent fruit typically presents in a curve-rich, bell-like shape that tapers to a gentle point, with a color palette that ranges from a sunny green to a warm blush of russet or yellow tones, sometimes speckled with a freckling of brown russet. A perfect addition to both savory and sweet dishes, pears can elevate salads with their succulent texture, accompany a cheese platter, or be baked into luscious desserts. With a composition that provides dietary fiber, essential vitamin C, and a variety of antioxidants, pears are as nutritious as they are indulgent, making them ideal for health-conscious connoisseurs with a sweet tooth.
Pears will keep for a few weeks on a cool counter, but will also do fine in a paper bag. To hasten the ripening put an apple in with them.
At Fresh Harvest we prioritize working with local producers and upholding our sourcing standards. To curate the best quality and quantity of produce we will sometimes pull from a variety of producers. We look to other growing regions for those items that are impossible or difficult to consistently grow well in our region. Any produce coming from out-of-state will be clearly labelled with it's place of origin.
