d'Anjou Pears

Green, egg-shaped pear with a sweet, citrus flavor

About The Fruit

Move over citrus fruits, green d’Anjou pears have arrived. This sweet and oh-so-juicy pear has noticeable citrus flavors that leaves you feeling fresh and energized.

D’Anjou pears are one of the best keeping pears and can be used in many ways. We love it fresh as a snack or paired with a sharp cheese, but you can also bake or poach this pear.

More About The Fruit

The popular green pear is thought to originate in Belgium, however the variety is named after the Anjou region in France. It was brought to the US in 1842 by Col. Marshall P. Wilder who grew the pear on his estate in Boston.

This pear can be called other things including the Danjou pear or the Anjou Pear and is a top contender for many pear lovers. In fact, Jelly Belly thought the Anjou had the perfect pear flavor for their Juicy Pear jelly bean! D’Anjou pears are tricky to ripen, so be sure to follow our steps on The Stem blog.
