Our bodies are made up of the nutrients found in the food we choose to eat. This has a major impact on how we grow.
Pears provide lots of vitamin C which helps build strong muscles, blood vessels, bones and teeth. Pears are high in fiber which keeps you satisfied longer.
In Spring, pear trees grow flowers which become pears. Pears are picked before they are ready to eat. If they are picked later they turn to mush. Pears are reay to eat when they lighten in color and gain a blush to their skin. Harrow pears are super sweet, similar to sickle pears. One medium pear is about 100 calories.
