Fruit of the Month

Pears are our in-season fruit choice of the month. One pear will provide 103 calories, 6 g fiber, 212 mg potassium, and 8mg Vitamin C!

Select the right pear for the occasion:
  • Bosc - ideal for pies, poaching, and crisps due to its firm flesh

  • Anjou - eat raw or cooked (this pear has a semifirm texture and a mellow flavor)

  • Bartlett - this variety is ultra-juicy and super-sweet, works well in salads
