Tree-ripe, naturally dropped pears and picked pears have a slight difference in flavor and texture.
The dropped pears are exceptionally sweet, with a rich honey-like flavor. The picked pears are also sweet, but they’re a bit crunchier and have a slightly milder honey flavor.
My wife and I prefer the rich, honey-like flavor of the tree-ripened pears, while my daughter prefers the picked ones for their extra crunch.
