Pear: "Gift of the Gods" and the Hypoallergenic Ideal

• Etymology of the name: The Latin name Pyrus became the basis for many European names: English pear, French poire, German Birne, Spanish pera. All of them ultimately go back to the ancient name of this fruit, which was already used by the Greeks and Romans.
• Divine origin: Homer called pears "gifts of the gods" in his "Odyssey". The oldest centers of cultivation were in Central Asia more than 3000 years ago, from where the pear came to Ancient Greece and then spread throughout Europe.
• Unique "stony" cells: The specific graininess of the flesh is caused by the presence of sclereids — cells encrusted with lignin. This is a unique biological feature of the pear. In the production of our premium puree, these cells are removed by ultrafine filtration.
• Hypoallergenicity and baby food: The pear is recognized as one of the safest fruits. Its juice and puree practically do not cause allergic reactions, making them the gold standard for the first complementary food in baby nutrition.
• Symbolism and "Separation": In China, the pear is considered a symbol of immortality. However, lovers are forbidden to share one pear: the word "li" in Chinese means both "pear" and "separation".
• Pear as a tobacco substitute (Rare fact): Before tobacco spread in Europe, pear leaves were dried and smoked because of their arbutin content, which gave the smoke a specific aroma.
• Global geography and harvest: We provide year-round supplies. When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, harvesting takes place in Chile and Argentina (January – March), as well as in South Africa (December – February).
• Product history: The technology for producing clear concentrate was perfected in the middle of the 20th century. Modern aseptic processing methods make it possible to preserve the light, golden hue of the juice without the use of colorants.
