Dried California Pears, No Sugar Added, Soft-Dried, Unsweetened

Dried pears bring a flavor that most dried fruit aisles don't offer. California-grown Bartlett and Anjou pears, slow-dried without any added sugar, packed fresh in a resealable bag, and Kosher Certified. The natural pear sweetness concentrates during drying rather than getting masked by added sugar or preservatives. Soft, chewy, and pear-forward. Available in sizes from 8 oz through 5 lb.

Are These Dried Pears Chewy or Crunchy? Slow-Dried vs Freeze-Dried

Worth addressing directly because the two formats are quite different.

Freeze-dried pears are crispy and crunchy. They're processed by freezing fresh fruit and removing moisture under vacuum pressure. The result is a light, snappy texture that dissolves on the tongue. Often sold as pear crisps or crispy pears. That is not this product.

These dried pears are slow-dried, which retains moisture at around 18 to 22 percent. The texture is soft, pliable, and chewy, similar to dried apricots or soft dried peaches. The flavor is concentrated but still reads clearly as fresh pear rather than something processed or candied.

What Do California Dried Pear Slices Taste Like?

The natural sweetness of Bartlett and Anjou pears concentrates during slow-drying into something honey-like and mildly floral, without the tartness that apricots or cranberries carry. The flavor is gentle enough to work in both sweet and savory contexts, which is partly why dried pears are a classic cheese board ingredient.

No added sugar means the flavor comes entirely from the fruit itself. The texture holds up well in a lunch box and travels cleanly in a hiking pack.

Per one ounce, approximately two to three slices: 65 calories, 0.5 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber, and 14 grams of carbohydrates from natural fruit sugars. Naturally nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

Where to Use Dried Pears in Cooking and Baking

Cheese boards: Dried pears pair well alongside aged cheddar, blue cheese, Stilton, Roquefort, and sharp goat cheeses. The natural sweetness works as a contrast to the intensity of strong aged cheeses.

Charcuterie: Pairs with prosciutto, coppa, and cured meats in the same way other dried fruits do. A combination used across Italian and Spanish appetizer traditions.

Baking: Chopped into scones, quick breads, coffee cakes, and muffins. Pear and ginger is a natural pairing. Pear and almond (frangipane, tarts, and muffins) is another combination that works cleanly.

Oatmeal and muesli: Chopped dried pears rehydrate naturally as steel-cut oats or bircher muesli cooks. Add cardamom, cinnamon, or clove for a warming bowl.

Savory cooking: Rehydrated in warm water or wine, dried pears work in pork stuffings, duck glazes, and game-meat preparations. Traditional French and Moroccan recipes both use dried fruit in savory contexts this way.

Salads and grain bowls: Chopped dried pears in arugula salads with blue cheese, walnuts, and balsamic. Autumn grain bowls with farro or wild rice.
