Selection Information


Usage: Eaten fresh, in salads or use in fruit baskets.


Selection: Good-quality Bosc pears will be medium-sized or larger with no bruises and only a few minor scuff marks. The coloring will be dark yellow with a cinnamon russeting of the skin. 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. Product that is extremely hard will ripen best at room temperature.
