A tip when shopping at the greengrocer

Press lightly on the base of the stem of the pears. They have to bend slightly. They should be neither too soft nor too hard.

 

A tip to preserve them at home

They are major producers of ethylene (the natural gas that accelerates fruit ripening). You should store them separately from all other fruits and avoid enclosing them in bags or containers. They will ripen and go bad.
