Preparation Tips

Pears can be enjoyed raw, baked, poached, or added to various dishes. To check for ripeness, gently press near the stem - if it yields slightly, it's ready to eat. To speed up ripening, store pears at room temperature. Once ripe, they can be refrigerated for 3-5 days. Wash thoroughly before eating, and they can be eaten with or without the skin. For cooking, pears can be cored and sliced as needed. They pair well with both sweet and savory dishes.
