We just visited farmer market last week, and we noticed red pears on the shelf. Honestly, our first time to see the red pears.
By Googling, we know there are three varieties of this red pear:
- Starkrimson
- Red bartlett
- Red s’Anjou
Unfortunately, we did not know the variety of red pear which we bought. However, one of variety called as Red s’Anjou was from Oregon, USA.
By searching through internet, no red pear in Europe. The above 3 varieties could be found in Canada. Other varieties are:
- Red sensation
- Reimer red
It is reported that there are at least two varieties of red pear in Australia:
- Red s’Anjou
- Red Sensation
Moreover, the red pears come to the market between August and December in the USA, especially in our neighborhood farmer market.
I don’t know the harvest seasons in the Canada and Australia. I guess from late August to late fall.
In respect to taste, I think, after ripe that red pears have soft texture, juicy and sweet compared to green pears.
Do you know the red pear? Have you tasted it? What do you think?
