Dozens of different varieties of pear are now available almost everywhere!
Most have paper-thin skins and a similar shape, although some, such as the Asian pear, look a little different. A cooling, uplifting, low-allergy fruit and an excellent source of water-soluble fiber, pears also contain useful amounts of beta-carotene and B vitamins, as well as traces of copper, phosphorus, potassium, and other essential elements.
