This large fruit is appreciated for both its shape and the high quality of its pulp. It has got a light green-yellow epicarp that often has got a pink tone on the part exposed to the sun; besides it is a little rusty. It has got a sweet, aromatic and slightly sharp flavour.
The pear is appreciated by a great number of consumers for its flavour, fragrance and juice.
This fruit is very responsive to the handling and the bruises so it has to be picked and processed with delicacy.
From a nutritional point of view it contains a good quantity of simple sugars (fructose of rapid assimilation), pectin, tannin, mineral salts, malic and citric acid, in addition to phenol compounds with antioxidant action.
The pear is very easily digestible, it has got a depurative, refreshing and laxative function and it is very suitable in the diet of young and old people.
