Advantages: Ready Peeled & Chopped. Cheaper Than Fresh. In Natural Fruit Juice

Disadvantages: Doesn't Have A Peel Open Lid. Sometimes The Fruit Is Harder Than Others.

I find that personally I prefer to buy tinned fruit rather than fresh. This is because it can be eaten straight out of the tin with no preperation whatsoever & also because tinned fruit is often cheaper than fresh fruit. These Pears are no exception

Tesco's Quartered Pears in juice is good value for money. The price of the tin varies regularly although it is usually priced between £0.40 & £0.45. You can also buy the pears in syrup for a slightly cheaper price plus, Tesco also sell Pear Halves in syrup or juice which are slightly cheaper still.

A tin of these Pears contains 225g of fruit when drained. This is just short of 1 portion of your five a day, but it is a good help towards it. This doesn't have a pull open lid so you will need to use a tin opener but you are paying a better value price for this.

The Fruit inside is usually very nice. I have these tins quite regularly. Most of the time the fruit is soft is & you can slice through it with a spoon. Sometimes it's a little harder & you have to put in a bit of effort unless you're using a knife. I don't know which variety of pear they use, but they taste good. Not too sweet or sour with a good texture. They tend to have lost their crunch though with being in a tin.

I would recommend this item to you if you like tinned fruit or you like to bake or cook with fruit & don't want the prep time of peeling & slicing the pears. Tesco also do a wide range of other tinne fruit in store.

Summary: Good Quality & Reasonably Priced Tinned Pears.
