goodbye/fun facts....national pear month...most pears get harvested during the month of December. Pears also have high nutritional value-- more fiber than bananas, oranges, and strawberries and pears are hypoallergenic, safe for people with allergies to eat, and has pectin which helps control high cholesterol. A recent survey showed that 84% of shoppers cannot tell when a pear is ripe.
