About Organic Bosc Pears
Bosc are an elegant variety, with distinctive characteristics that set them apart from other pears. Those who are familiar with Bosc appreciate their crunchy yet tender flesh and their sweet-spiced flavour. Characteristic features are a long tapering neck and russeted skin. Its flesh is denser, crisper and smoother than that of other pears. It is sometimes called the "aristocrat of pears". A common misconception is that Bosc pears need to be peeled or cooked before being eaten, and that's simply not true. Those who have not tried a Bosc would most likely be surprised... and pleased that the brown skin hides a delicious, spicy and slightly firmer flesh.
Juicy and sweet, with a soft, buttery yet somewhat grainy texture, the white to cream-coloured flesh of pears was once referred to as the "gift of the gods". Pears are a good source of dietary fibre, vitamin C, copper, and vitamin K.
