Anjou Pear

Renowned for their refreshing flavor and succulent texture, Anjou pears are a culinary delight. Recognizable for their short-necked, roundish shape and light green or sometimes red skin, these pears are a perfect balance of sweet and tart, enhancing any dish they’re added to. Anjou pears can be enjoyed both raw and cooked. They make a delightful addition to salads or cheese boards, add a fantastic zing to desserts, or can be poached or baked for a sophisticated dessert. When choosing, look for ones that yield slightly to pressure near the stem, indicating perfect ripeness.
