What is Pear?

There are many varieties of pears, common ones include Anjou, Bartlett, and Comice, and many more. Pears are roughly the size of a medium to large apple, but with a very different shape. They are thin at the top and heavy at the bottom, with a round body. Pears vary slightly in shape, depending on the type; skin color varies via the same factor. Pears may be red, green, beige or golden yellow. Their skin is thin with a warm cream colored flesh, which is firm. When ripe it is softer and juicy. There is a grainy mouthfeel to the pear. The flavor and aroma is delicate and almost floral, with a hint of apple. Pears are eaten fresh and cooked.
