It is a powdered form of pears, which are the fruit of the Pyrus tree.Pears are a rich source of various phytochemicals, including dietary fiber, antioxidants (such as vitamin C and flavonoids), and minerals (including potassium and copper). These phytochemicals contribute to the potential health benefits of pears. It is commonly used in a variety of food and beverage applications to impart pear flavor and nutritional value to products.

After harvesting, pears undergo thorough washing and cleaning to remove soil,and other impurities. Following the cleaning process, the pears are typically sliced and subjected to drying methods such as air-drying or low-temperature dehydration. These methods help preserve the natural sugars, flavor, and bioactive compounds present in the fruit. Once dried, the pear slices can be further processed by removing any remaining seeds or core fragments and, if desired, finely grinding into a powder. This powder retains the pear’s natural flavor and potential health benefits. The dried pear slices or pear powder are then packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and maintain freshness, ensuring that the pears retain their quality, nutritional properties, and beneficial compounds from farm to table.
