Comice Pear


Selection Information


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

Selection: Good-quality Comice pears will be medium-sized or larger with no bruises and only a few minor scuff marks. The coloring will be green-yellow 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 a Comice pear is over ripe. Product that is extremely hard will ripen best at room temperature.

Seasonal Information


Comice pears are available August through March.
