Pear

​

Like Apples, Oranges, Grapes and others, there are many varieties of Pear and are widely grown throughout Europe and Asia. Like that of the related apple, the Pear fruit is a pome, in most wild species 1-4 cm diameter, but in some cultivated forms up to 18 cm long and 8 cm broad; the shape varies from globose in most species, to the classic 'pear-shape' of the European Pear with an elongated basal portion and a bulbous end.

Pears contain calcium, riboflavin, a lot of fiber and are great for the skin.
