Uses

D’Anjou Pears have short tapering necks without distinct shoulders, almost egg-shaped. They have a yellow green skin, which does not change color even when ripe. Despite their appearance, this is a rich, juicy fruit with a sweet flesh and buttery, slightly gritty texture. Melissa’s Organic D’Anjou Pears are labeled: “Melissa's Certified Organic Produce is free of artificial or synthetic fertilizers and full of unforgettable, great tasting flavor. Our farmers use traditional earth-friendly farming methods inspected by a nationally recognized agency to verify organic authenticity. Melissa's Organic Produce, a choice made closer to nature.” Because of their superbly rich flavor D’Anjou pears are great for eating out of hand or in addition to salads, but are also suitable baked, roasted, or poached.

Selection, Storage & Handling

Melissa’s Organic D’Anjou Pears are hand-selected for excellent quality. They can be stored in refrigeration unripe for long periods. Organic produce should not be stacked with non-organic produce.
