Pear
Pears are a type of fruit that belongs to the Rosaceae family. They are related to apples and quinces. Pears come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can have different textures, depending on the variety.
Some varieties of pears are round and smooth, while others are elongated and more irregular in shape. They can range in color from green to yellow to red. Pears are usually eaten fresh, but can also be canned, frozen, or dried.
They can also be used in cooking and baking, such as in pies, tarts, and jams. Pears are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. They can also be a good source of antioxidants and phytochemicals.
