The Bartlett Pear is a popular variety of pear known for its sweet flavor and smooth texture. It is typically green when unripe, turning a golden yellow as it ripens. This pear is often enjoyed fresh, canned, or in desserts, making it a versatile fruit in many culinary applications. Originating from England, the Bartlett Pear was introduced to the United States in the 19th century. It is a favorite among growers due to its high yield and disease resistance. The fruit is usually harvested in late summer to early fall, and it is best eaten when fully ripe for optimal sweetness.
