What is a "pear"?
A pear is a delicious fruit with a distinctive shape, typically wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, resembling a teardrop. It has smooth skin that can range in color from green to yellow to red, depending on the variety. Pears have sweet, juicy flesh with a slightly grainy texture, and they come in various flavors from mildly sweet to tangy. They are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious snack choice. Pears can be enjoyed fresh as a snack or added to salads, desserts, or cooked dishes like pies and tarts.
