The Alejandrina pear is a variety primarily grown in Spain, although its origins lie in Eastern European and Western Asian countries. It is known for its sweet and juicy flavor, making it an excellent option for all ages due to its nutritional profile. Pears are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins B and C, and minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and copper. They also contain antioxidants such as oleic acid and caffeic acid, and are beneficial for issues like fluid retention, intestinal transit, and hypertension. For storage, it is recommended to keep them out of plastic bags, in cool, dry places. They can also be stored in the refrigerator in less cold areas to prolong their freshness for up to 3 or 4 days.
