Did you know pears don’t ripen on the tree? While most types of fruit reach their peak on the branch or vine, pears need to be picked before ripening. If left on the tree, pears ripen from the inside out and, by the time they seem to be at the ripe stage, they are beyond it — usually mushy with a mealy texture beneath the skin. To avoid such results, pears should be picked when they are mature but not yet fully ripened.

storage

Once harvested, most pears will require about a week to ripen at room temperature.
If you store the fruit in a paper bag, you can speed up this process so that it will ripen in just a few days.
You may also choose to store your pears with an apple or banana — fruits that are more prone to releasing ethylene gas, which accelerates the ripening process.
