Did you know?
Bartlett pears change from green to yellow when ripe.
For many, the Bartlett pear carries a true pyriform pear shape, a rounded bell on the bottom half of the fruit and then a definitive shoulder with a smaller neck or stem end. Bartletts are extremely aromatic pears and have a definitive sweet pear flavor. Just as Yellow Bartletts change color while ripening, so do Red Bartletts, changing from a dark red, often with light vertical striping, to become a bright red.
