What it is
This is a beverage made from pears. It is a juice-like drink that captures the sweet and mild flavor of ripe pears. The process of making it involves extracting the juice from pears and often diluting it slightly with water to create a smooth, drinkable consistency. It is a popular choice for those who enjoy fruit-based beverages that are not overly tart.
