USDA Organic certified Bartlett pears in a convenient 4 lb box. Bartlett pears feature the classic pyriform pear shape with a rounded bell bottom and distinctive shoulder tapering to a smaller neck. These extremely aromatic pears deliver that definitive sweet pear flavor and smooth, juicy texture that Bartletts are known for.

Harvested when fully mature but allowed to ripen after picking, these Northwest-grown pears develop a smoother texture and sweeter flavor than tree-ripened varieties. The skin color brightens as the pears ripen from green (crunchy and tart) to yellow-green (moist and mildly sweet) to golden yellow (super sweet and juicy). Bartlett pears are excellent for eating fresh, adding to salads, pairing with cheese, baking, canning, and making preserves.

Nutrition per medium pear (178g): approximately 100 calories, 4g dietary fiber, good source of potassium and Vitamin C. Virtually fat-free with no cholesterol. Contains pectin for cholesterol control. Most nutrients are in the skin, so eat unpeeled for maximum benefits.
