Pears
Rich in fiber and vitamins.
Information
There are over 5,000 varieties of pear worldwide, which differ in the details of their peel, juice content, and aroma. What unites them: pears are rich in fiber; a medium-sized fruit contains about 6 g of it. Add to that vitamin A and C, as well as various B vitamins, sulfur, copper, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Gentle on the stomach and easy to digest, pears are particularly suitable for baby food.
Bösch Boden Spies exclusively sells pear halves from South Africa, canned by Langeberg & Ashton Foods.

Description
At Langeberg & Ashton Foods, pears are processed and canned from the end of February to the middle of May. The fruit is cut and pitted by machines. It then undergoes a mechanical peeling process before being washed and sorted. Once the pears have been placed in the tins, a liquid is added to them before the cooking process, which consists either of sugar syrup, fruit juice, artificial sweetener, or water. Depending on the size of the fruit being preserved, the canned preserves then spend a certain amount of time in a revolving cooker before they are left to cool, and then labeled.
