Organic Concorde Pear 2pcs USA

Origin: USA
Status: Organic
Certification: USDA/NASAA
Highlights: The Concorde pear cultivar was developed at the East Malling Research Station, Kent, UK as a cross between the Conference and Comice pears. If the preference is for a slightly more crisp texture, Concorde pears can be eaten almost immediately upon purchase. As Concorde pears ripen they become slightly softer and more mellow in flavour. Initially crunchy and sweet, they have a distinct vanilla flavour.

Pears are an excellent source of soluble & insoluble fibre offering ~5-6g total fibre per medium size pear. The highest fibre and antioxidant content is in the skin, so as these pears are certified organic please wash and eat the skin. Apart from improving bowel movements the fibre plays a role in the health of the gut microbiome and is thought to help to prevent both obesity & type-2 diabetes.
