I always forget about pears, when I think of my favorite fruit, but I love me a good pear. My favorite are Bartlett pears, but I will eat just about any kind of pear. Yesterday when I was at Trader Joes they had a bag of rainbow pears, they had a mixture of different types in the bag. I ate one last night, and it was really good. I do love pears, but I was also reading the other day that they are very good for your blood pressure,,so win, win. My BP was almost too low though when I was at the clinic yesterday, but I had taken two doses of fish oil yesterday. I think one is sufficient. I am starting on a new BP med anyway..which if it works out it will be very convenient as I will d/c the other, and only have to take the new one once per day.

I don't like the pears that are too hard..but regular yellow pears are awesome. When I was a kid we had a pear tree that they called winter pears. They really weren't good to eat though..they were never soft. They might have been OK for baking, but I don't think my mother ever used them for that.

@Juliaacv I was just reading about the winter pears. Supposedly if you pick them in the fall, they will ripen and become soft in the winter. My parents must not have known that, as we never tried it. Although, I am not sure my mom is a huge pear fan.

@snowy22315 We had a tree with Bartlett pears on it.
Pears go from really green and hard to yellow and soft so quickly, I stopped buying them as they would rot before they were all eaten.

I do like pears and Bosc pears are my favorites. I would love to try rainbow pears as they do sound really good. I'll be buying pears now that they will be more readily available and it's good to know they help with BP.

I love pears ….i got lots for a few pennies not so long ago …way too many to eat before they went off. I have dehydrated lots and they are my favourite snack now.

Hmm, that is a neat idea. I love dehydrated strawberries, and I am sure pears would be even better.

@snowy22315 I never had them before this year, then, a lady I’m following on fb did it and I was hooked. This lady is a kitchen genius.

We really like pears, too. I don't like them when they are overly ripe, nor when they are too green. But the perfect pear on it's best day is delicious.

They are really good. They don't sell them that much here though..not like by the bag. I usually have to get them other places. My grandparents used to have a huge pear tree in their yard. They got so many pears they couldn't use them all. They finally cut it down though..as the smashed and rotting pears on the ground attracted too many bees.

They are only mushy if they are over ripe. I am sure certain varieties like maybe Bosc are not mushy at all.

I was never a fan of pears and haven't had one in decades.
