Pears are here to save your snack time! Juicy, sweet, and oh-so-satisfying, they’re the perfect pick-me-up any time of day.
Discover the World of Pears
It’s a Pear Party: Pears come in a range of colors from green, yellow, and red to speckled and golden. Each type brings its own unique flavor to the party, making pears a diverse and delicious group to snack through.
Find Your Perfect Pear: Pears are known for their classic bell shape, but they can also be round and plump. Some are big and juicy, while others are small and crisp. Which one do you think looks the tastiest?
Sweetness, Spice, and Everything Nice: When it comes to flavor, pears are a treat. They’re sweet, juicy, and sometimes even have a hint of cinnamon or spice. Grab a pear for a refreshing snack, slice it over salad, or enjoy it for dessert.
Prime for Picking: Farmers harvest pears when they’re firm and let them ripen off the tree. As they soften, their flavors become sweeter and more intense. Keep an eye on them so you can enjoy them at their juiciest! Note: Asian pears are the exception to this rule. They don’t ripen up after picking, so farmers have to snag them at the perfect time.
