About Pears, raw
The pear is a soft, sweet fruit with a grainy, melting flesh quite unlike the crisp snap of the apple it's so often compared to. From the buttery Bartlett to the firm, russeted Bosc, varieties range widely, but all share that honeyed, mild sweetness.
Eaten with the skin on, a pear is a genuinely good source of fiber — much of it the soluble kind that supports digestion — along with vitamin C, vitamin K and potassium. It's mostly water and natural sugar, which keeps it modestly sweet and reasonably light.
Pears are unusual in ripening best off the tree, from the inside out, so a pear that's soft at the neck is ready to eat. Patience at the fruit bowl is rewarded with one of autumn's nicest fruits.
