World Pear Day

Happy World Pear Day, everyone!

Pears are a fruit native to coastal and mildly temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. They are grown and consumed around the world. The pear is part of the genus Pyrus and the family Rosaceae. Pears are often harvested in the summer and autumn. 

Humans have consumed pears for centuries. China has cultivated pears since 2000 BC (in fact, it's believed that the genus Pyrus originated there), and there's evidence that people have eaten pears in prehistoric times. The Ancient Romans also consumed pears. They introduced the pear to Britain.

Pears can be consumed in a variety of ways. They can be made into jellies and jams, they can be canned, and pears can even be used to make cider like apples. I wonder what pear cider tastes like. I imagine it tastes like pears and regret.

 Pears are a very versatile little fruit, so enjoy one today! Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves and each other! See you next time!
