Bosc pears are a classic fall and winter variety prized for their firm texture, elongated russet-brown skin, and sweet, honey-like flavor with subtle vanilla notes. Unlike softer pear varieties, Bosc pears hold their shape exceptionally well when baked, poached, or grilled, making them a versatile choice for both fresh eating and cooking. This 4-pound bag from Costco provides a generous supply of this beloved variety.

Bosc pears are an excellent source of dietary fiber and a good source of vitamin C and potassium. They are naturally fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low in sodium. The fiber content supports digestive health, while the natural sugars provide a satisfying sweetness without added ingredients. Best enjoyed when slightly yielding at the neck when gently pressed; ripen at room temperature and refrigerate once ripe.
