Pears are one of the first foods introduced to infants due to the low acidity, they are easily digested, and are considered low-allergen. They are a member of the rose family and can vary in color from green, red, yellow, or brown. Pears originally came from Africa, Europe, and Asia. The names and styles of different pears are:

  • Bartlett
  • Bosc
  • Comice
  • Forelle

Pears are picked unripe and finish ripening off the tree. Best to keep them in the fridge until ready to ripen them at room temperature. Squishy pears are overripe and not good for eating but may be used for cooking.

Now to the good part, how to eat them! Raw is the best and be sure to wash them lightly with soap and water then you can mix them with other ingredients for a variety of tastes. For example:

  • Add spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, anise, or ginger
  • Splash with lemon, lime, or orange juice to add flavor & reduce oxidizing
  • Blend with parsley for a wonderful flavor
  • Top pizzas with pears and goat cheese
  • Combine smoothies of apples, pears, and lime
  • Puree into pear butter
  • Cube on top of granola or oatmeal
  • Poach with flavoring and top with vanilla
