What are Pears?

Pears (Pyrus spp.) are a well-liked fruit. They are juicy, sweet, and have a bell shape. Pears belong to the Rosaceae family and have been grown for thousands of years in Europe, Asia, and North America. You can eat them fresh, or use them for baking, canning, drying, and juicing. There are many types of pears available, making them a tasty choice for stores, restaurants, and food manufacturers. They are often used with apples, peaches, or plums in baked goods and snacks.

Types, Varieties & Forms

Pears come in different types, each with unique qualities for various uses. Some well-known types are Bartlett, Anjou, Bosc, Comice, and Asian pears. They vary in sweetness, firmness, and skin color. Some are best for eating fresh, while others are good for cooking. Dried pears are usually found in these forms:

• Slices: Thin or thick-cut pear segments used in snack mixes or granola.
• Chunks / Cubes: Uniform diced pieces (typically 5–10 mm) ideal for muesli, cereal blends, and bakery inclusions.
• Halves: Naturally dried pear halves, often used in premium snacking or organic retail packs.
• Pear Powder / Granules: Finely ground dried pear used in smoothie mixes and as a natural fruit-based sweetener.

Harvest Season

Pear harvest mainly happens from late summer to early fall in the Northern Hemisphere, depending on the type of pear. Bartlett pears are usually picked in August. Anjou, Bosc, and Comice pears are harvested in September and October. In the Southern Hemisphere, especially in Argentina, Chile, and New Zealand, the harvest runs from January to March. This helps supply international markets when pears are not in season in the north.

Pear Market

Pears have changed from an important food in ancient times to a global product because of international trade. Health trends have sparked new interest in pears because they have a low glycemic index, are high in fiber, and are naturally sweet. Premium types, like Comice, are now often found in specialty stores.

Processed pear products, such as canned pears, pear juice, and dried slices, are becoming more popular with both makers and buyers who want simple and natural ingredients. As demand grows for a steady supply throughout the year, global sourcing has become very important for large buyers and manufacturers.
