About USDA Commodity pears, canned, light syrup, drained
The pear (genus Pyrus) is a sweet, juicy fruit with a rounded base that tapers toward the stem and a soft, smooth flesh that turns buttery and almost melting when fully ripe. Hundreds of varieties exist, but the ones you spot most often include the green or red Anjou, the classic bell-shaped Bartlett, the russeted brown Bosc, the honey-sweet Comice, the tiny Seckel, and the round, crisp Asian pear that stays crunchy like an apple.
Pears are a good source of fiber, much of it concentrated in the skin, along with vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, all for modest calories. Unusually, they ripen best after picking and from the inside out, so stores sell them firm and they soften on the counter over a few days; the trick is to press gently near the stem, and if the neck yields the fruit is ready. Enjoy pears fresh, sliced into green salads with blue cheese and walnuts, poached in spiced wine, or baked into tarts and crisps.
Once ripe, move them to the refrigerator to slow things down and buy a few more days.
