THE PEAR IS RARE

Unlike other fruits, pears ripen from the inside out making them better to pick when still hard. And this is exactly what our growers do.

Pick-a-pear: if you want to know when a pear is ready to eat, gently press the flesh around the stem. If ripe it will give a little, and you can go ahead and enjoy.
