Anjou Pears


Selection Information


Usage: In salads and eaten raw.

Selection: Good-quality Anjou pears will be medium-sized or larger with no scars or bruises. The coloring will be yellow-green with an occasional red blush. Pears are ripe when they yield to gentle pressure at the stem end.


Avoid: Avoid product with soft spots or scars that are more than skin-deep. Too much yellow means an Anjou pear is over ripe. Product that is extremely hard will ripen best at room temperature.


Seasonal Information


Anjou pears are available October through June.
