With their striking crimson skin and unique egg-shaped form, Red Anjou pears bring elegance and flavor to every occasion. Their smooth, glossy exterior makes them visually appealing, while their subtly sweet and refreshing taste, with hints of citrus, ensures they are as delicious as they are beautiful.

 

Red Anjou pears are versatile and perfect for various culinary uses. Their dense, creamy texture makes them ideal for baking, roasting, or grilling, as they hold their shape exceptionally well when cooked. They also shine when sliced fresh in salads, paired with soft cheeses, or enjoyed as a flavorful snack.

 

Unlike many other pear varieties, Red Anjou pears do not change color as they ripen, maintaining their vibrant red hue throughout. To ripen, leave them at room temperature until they soften slightly. Once ripe, they can be stored in the refrigerator for a few more days to extend their freshness.

 

Harvest begins in the fall, and Red Anjou pears are widely available from late September through June. Their extended availability and rich flavor make them a favorite for both consumers and chefs.
