Anjou Pears, 6 lbs

Anjou pears are a popular, versatile variety known for their mild, sweet flavor with subtle hints of citrus and vanilla. This 6-pound bag (approximately 2.72 kg) contains fresh D'Anjou pears, one of the most widely available pear varieties in North America.

Anjou pears are egg-shaped with a rounded bottom and short neck, featuring a smooth, waxy skin that ranges from green to red-green. Unlike many pear varieties, Anjou pears do not change color as they ripen, making them unique among common pear types. To check for ripeness, gently press near the neck — if it yields slightly, the pear is ready to eat.

These pears are excellent for fresh eating, slicing into salads, pairing with cheeses and charcuterie, baking, poaching, and juicing. They hold their shape well when cooked, making them ideal for recipes that call for firm pears. Anjou pears are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, and are naturally fat-free and sodium-free.
