As a low-acid fruit, pears taste particularly sweet, a sweetness that is further enhanced during the drying process. The fructose in dried pears releases a pleasant flavor in the mouth when chewed, making them a delicious snack and a popular ingredient in various baking and cooking recipes.
Pears belong to the rose family and are native to North Africa, Asia, and Europe. The Babylonians revered the pear as a sacred tree, and it remains a very popular fruit today. A pear contains roughly the same amount of sugar as an apple, but has significantly less acid, making it particularly easy to digest for people with acid sensitivities. Pears also contain more minerals than apples, such as phosphorus, potassium, and iron. Furthermore, they are rich in vitamin B2.
