Who would have thought that that pears could be a cure-all for sports activities<\/strong>? It is not so obvious, but given the levels of fructose and potassium, it is easy to imagine the energising, hydrating and stimulating effects<\/strong> of this “false” fruit. Well, the pear (which grows from several parts of the flower) is technically an apple, but the fruit boasts health benefits and a sweet and satisfying taste. There are various types of pear<\/strong>: find out about them and their particular characteristics.<\/p>\n

The qualities of pears: the fruit of love for plants<\/h2>\n

Although pear trees produce edible fruit themselves, the most common varieties<\/strong> of pears <\/strong>are selected by expert botanists and agriculturalists. The most well-known is the Williams pear<\/strong>, a type of pear which has been grown in England since the end of the eighteenth century. It has a rounded shape and juicy flesh. There is also a red variety called the Max Red Bartlett. The Decane pear<\/strong> arrived from France at the beginning of the nineteenth century: the yellow-green skin with reddish stripes surrounds its sweet and solid flesh. The Kaiser pear<\/strong> is also from France (otherwise known as the Bosc pear). Its tobacco-coloured skin “anticipates” its aromatic and sweet yet sharp flesh. There is also the Passe Crassane pear<\/strong> mentioned by the author Marcel Proust for its scent of roses. In Italy, we can celebrate ancient varieties of pear<\/strong> like the summer Spadona<\/strong> pear native to the Salerno area with its green skin and extremely fine white flesh.<\/p>\n

The properties of pears, allies of the heart and muscles<\/h2>\n

Although the various types of pears<\/strong> are incomparable in terms of flavour, aroma and consistency, they have similar nutritional values<\/strong> which make them essential for psychological and physical well-being. Pears are in fact a juicy source of potassium<\/strong> which helps the heart, kidneys, nervous system and lymphatic system to function well. All types of pear help to lower blood pressure<\/strong>, maintain hydration<\/strong> and limit the absorption of bad cholesterol and prevent muscle cramps. Thanks to their high percentage of water, pears promote the regularity of the intestinal tract<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A healthy treat: fruit sorbets<\/h2>\n

If the end of summer makes you crave sugar, then the pear with just 40 kcal per 100 grams is a food that will keep you looking good and in physical shape<\/strong> thanks to its antioxidants which protect your skin and hair. You can experience its satiating power by tasting the fresh fruit sorbets made every day by RivaReno<\/strong> by mixing just water, cane sugar, carob flour and seaweed. To ensure the flavour of the pear sorbet<\/strong> produced from October to February, RivaReno uses at least 55% Williams, Bartlett or Decane pears<\/strong> so as to tickle your tastebuds with an exclusive recipe of indescribable flavours and aromas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who would have thought that that pears could be a cure-all for sports activities?
