These Pears are from our own farms situated in the famed Apple belt of Himachal Pradesh. We use Traditional, Sustainable, Natural farming practices in our orchards.
Babugosha are medium to large in size and are irregular in shape with a bulbous, wide bottom that tapers to a smaller rounded neck with a slender, dark brown stem. Pekham Pears were created with the intention of developing a late-ripening variety. Similar in appearance to a bartlett pear, the skin transforms from green to pale yellow when ripe and is covered in patches of russeting, prominent lenticels, and small, smooth bumps. The flesh is white to ivory and is fine-grained, moist, and soft encasing a central core with a few, black-brown seeds.
