D’Anjou pear is one of the most popular and widely grown pear varieties in the United States. Known for its refreshing flavor, smooth texture, and excellent storage life, the D’Anjou pear is a versatile fruit enjoyed fresh, cooked, or baked.
D’Anjou pears have a mildly sweet flavor with hints of citrus or melon. Their texture is smooth, dense, and juicy, with a firm flesh that softens as it ripens. Unlike some other pear varieties, D’Anjous are not overly grainy.
