Dehydrated Bartlett pears are perfect for a healthy snack. They can be added to your desserts or to your “cocktails”. They are rich in fiber, vitamin C and have strong antioxidant power. Bartlett pears come from Canada, Chile, the United States or Argentina depending on availability.
Trees of the genus Pyrus are native to the Middle East and the subalpine areas of Kashmir. Wild species are still found in Central Asia and the Far East. Their fruits are small and few in number, so that they are only picked by birds. It is believed that farmers began domesticating the pear tree 7,000 years ago, probably at the same time as the apple tree.
