The Pear is a bit fickle. You usualy can’t bite into it right away, and you don’t know beforehand when you can. Grower Theo Wolters from Fruitkwekerij De Stokhorst Explains how to get your filling this pear month.
Buy Pears Hard and Unripe, So Don’t Squeeze Them in the Store
Pears Are Tasks from the Trees When they are Still Unripe, Says Wolters. They river Further in the store, in your fruit bowl, and also in the refrigerator. If you only harvest them when they are ripe, you have to eat them immediately, and that’s not convenient.
“The Pears in the supermarket are picked equally more unripe than for our Farm shop. Don’t squeeze them or twist the voice – Always be gentle with pears. If you buy a bag, Put a few in the refrigerator and a few bowl. A long time. “
They are ripe when the skin has discolored somewhat from green to yellow-red and they feel slightly softer under the voice. This takes a few days after purchase.
Try a Different Variety
The Conference and Comice Are Well-Known Pear Varieties That Catch the Eye in Supermarkets. The comice is the juiciest of the two. “Really special are the Summer Pears Clapp’s and Triomphe de Vienne, which are only available for a very short time now.”
Supermarkets Sell the Same Pears Year-Round, But at Farm Shops You Will Find Many Other Varieties That Are Fun To Try, Says The Fruit Grower. All Pears Are Now Off The Trees, So There Is A Lot To Choose From.
“A Stewed Pear Really Belongs to Autumn. They are Grown Larger and Larger, Because People Don’t Don’t want to Peel Very Small Ones. Gieser Wildemann are somewhat Larger Stedwed Pears That You Have To Cook For About Three Hours.”
No Patience? Apply the Banana Trick
Has that hard Pear on the fruit bowl buckon you for days and can’t you take it anymore? Then put a ripe banana next to it to make it rings faster, wolters tips.
You can put the pears together with the banana in a paper bag to speed up the process. “Disruption IT in a Warm Place also Helps.”
Prefer an Apple? Keep this in Mind
The Apple is much more popular than the Pear, Wolters Knows. For Example, They Grow 25 Apple Varieties and Only 5 Pear Varieties at the Stokhorst. “The consumer forgets the pear a bit, because 80 percent of customs go for an apple and only 20 percent for a pear. When Juice is pressed, the consumer also Goes for Apple Juice and not Pear Juice. They They Them Taste it is Tastier.”
A Pear Deserves to Be In The Spotlight More, The Fruit Grower Believes. “It’s actual a much more exciting fruit. You have to wait for it, they are sweet and juicy and there are many old varieties. They have a small core, so you get more for your money. An awful lot of pears are for forests.”
