Pear
Belgium is known worldwide as a true pear specialist, with the Conference pear as the all-time favourite. A wonderfully snack that never disappoints! When baked or stewed, the natural sugars caramelise, creating an intensely sweet flavour. That’s why pears are so popular in desserts like crumbles or poached pears. But they also shine in savoury dishes! Perfect in stews or autumn salads, and a great match with walnuts or blue cheese. So don’t be left holding the pear — discover this delicious fruit!
Did you know that?
A pear sinks while an apple floats, because apples contain more air than pears.
