Anjou pears are a popular variety of pear known for their sweet flavor and smooth texture. They are typically green, although some can turn a yellowish hue when fully ripe. Anjou pears are firm and juicy, making them ideal for eating fresh, baking, or adding to salads. These pears are available year-round, with peak season from late summer to early spring. They are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, contributing to a healthy diet. Anjou pears can be stored in a cool, dry place and ripen at room temperature, making them convenient for home use.
