Pear from Lleida DOP

Lleida Pears PDO stand out nutritionally for their high water, fibre and potassium content, as well as for the presence of small amounts of B vitamins. They are mildly astringent due to their tannin composition with anti-inflammatory effects, which makes them beneficial when cooked as a remedy for gastritis and ulcers. There are three varieties of Lleida PDO pears: Blanquilla, Llimonera and Conference. These pears are grown and harvested in accordance with the PDO and are of Extra and First quality, the highest commercial categories.
