Conference pears are sweet and juicy with a smooth-textured flesh. The flesh can sometimes have a slight pink tint to it denoting a honeyed sweetness. By far our most popular pear!

One of the complaints that some people have about various fruits is the calorie content, mainly derived from natural sugars. However, pears are one of the lowest calorie fruits; an average pear has just over 100 calories, which is 5% of daily calorie allowance of a healthy diet. However, the nutritional supplementation it gives you is immense. Pears also have good amounts of fibre which is great for our digestion plus this fibre makes you feel full. Therefore, people trying to lose weight often turn to pears to get the most “bang for their buck”. It is a high-energy, high-nutrient food with low impact on weight gain and obesity.

Description

Conference pears are sweet, rich flavour, delicious pears which offer the crunch of apples but are as juicy as a nectarine. With a thin green skin and an off-white coloured juicy flesh is soft. The centre of the fruit is like apple in appearance with tiny inedible seeds in the centre. It is packed with health benefiting nutrients such as dietary fibre, anti-oxidants, minerals and vitamins, which are necessary for optimum health.

To check its ripeness, gentle pressure to the flesh should result in a slight yield. To ripen quickly wrap in brown paper.

To prepare, wash them in clean running cold water then trim both ends and cut into two equal halves. Take out centrally placed small seeds. Slice the fruit into desirable cubes or chunks.
