NOTES : The Packham Pear is short and stubby and an ill-looking shade of
light green with conspicuous dark green pores and it never blushes or
changes color, even wheh it ripens. It is also juicy, fragrant and
delicious for eating out of hand and packed with nutritional pluses. A
medium size pear contains 100 calories, and has generous amounts of
vitamins C and E as well as potassium. They are fat-free and fibrous. They
are very popular in Europe. Barbara Burman of Cape Fruit in America says
that it is the most versatile cooking fruit she can think of. It was
introduced in South America in 1922. It has been exported to this country
by Cape Fruit for nearly 40 years. They are found in the spring.
