Pear Tree Showing Ripe Fruit

The fruit of the pear is rich in B-complex vitamins and vitamin C and also contains small amounts of iodine and phosphorus. Pears are sold as fresh fruit or processed for their juice. Pear juice is used in the production of many types of fruit juice drinks, since the flavor of the juice does not interfere with that of other fruits.
