pear
Tapered orchard fruit
A pear is a sweet, edible fruit with a distinctive shape—rounded at the bottom and tapering toward the stem.
Pears grow on trees of the genus Pyrus and are related to apples, though softer and often grainier in texture when ripe.
The fruit ranges from green to yellow to reddish-brown depending on variety.
The pears aren't ripe yet—give them a few more days on the counter.
