    Get to Know Pear Varieties

    We're well into pear season, and if it wasn't obvious to you already, pears — much like apples — come in many different shapes and colors. Can you tell one from the other? I'll walk you through the different varieties of pears and their differences in taste, texture, and flavor. Let's begin!

    i used to think that all pears were alike and then i realized that like apples, they have different colors and therefore different tastes. thank you for sharing this since i've learned even more about the different ones that i knew by name only. it just reminds me of a SATC episode where samantha goes out with the guy (turtle) who spends all this time trying to figure out what type of pear is in his dish.
