Description

Fresh pears are juicy and sweet fruits, valued for their soft texture and delicate flavor. These fruits come from the tree of the Pyrus genus, native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, although they are now cultivated in various parts of the world due to their great popularity.

Fresh pears have a high content of water, dietary fiber, and vitamins such as C and K, as well as minerals like potassium. Thanks to these properties, they contribute to hydration, improve digestion, and strengthen the immune system.

In the culinary field, fresh pears are versatile ingredients used in both sweet preparations, such as pies and desserts, and in savory dishes, accompanying salads or cheeses. Their mild flavor pairs well with spices like cinnamon and ginger.

In Hispanic America, pears may also be known as common pear or simply pear. It is worth noting that, depending on the region, there are local varieties with particular names, but the term "pear" is widely recognized to refer to this fruit.
