Bartlett Pears

Bartlett pears, also known simply as Williams pears in some regions, are a popular variety of pear that is widely cultivated and consumed worldwide. Bartlett pears are medium to large-sized fruits with a distinctive bell shape. They have a smooth, thin skin that ripens from green to yellow as it matures. Some may have a reddish blush on the side exposed to the sun. Bartlett pears are known for their sweet and aromatic flavor with subtle floral notes. They have a delicate taste that is mildly tangy when they are still slightly underripe. Like other varieties of pears, Bartlett pears are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. They are also low in calories and fat.
