Kingsburg Orchards is helping retailers diversify their produce departments with a unique offering. Relatively new to most fruit lovers, the Apple Pear is a delicious tree ripened fruit presenting a round shape and white flesh, giving them the appearance and texture similar to an apple but with a refreshing pear flavor. The long storage life of the Apple Pear is one of its strong marketing points… they will “store” for 10 to 14 days at room temperature; three to four weeks in the crisper of a refrigerator, and up to three or four months in a commercial cold storage facility. Apple pears are great back to school items because they don’t turn brown like your typical apple and offer little ones a sweet flavor and crunchy texture that make it a perfect healthy addition to any lunchbox. Apple Pears also make an elegant solution at a dinner party or table spread during football game.
