Description

Anjou pears are a variety of pear known for their rounded shape and smooth skin, which can be green or deep red in color. Originating from Belgium and France, these pears have gained popularity worldwide for their juicy texture and sweet, slightly acidic flavor, making them ideal for eating fresh, in desserts, salads, and various culinary preparations.

Anjou pears are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, contributing to good digestion and strengthening the immune system. Their caloric content is low, making them a healthy option to include in any diet.

In the Hispanic world, Anjou pears are also commonly known as Anjou pear or simply winter pear, due to their good preservation during this time of year. They are highly valued in both sweet and savory recipes, and their versatility makes them a staple ingredient in the kitchen.
