What it is
These are chunks of pear packed in a juice blend. The blend includes acai and blackberry flavors. The fruit is prepared and sealed in a can. This makes it ready to eat or use in cooking. The pears are cut into easy-to-manage pieces. The juice adds a different flavor profile to the fruit.
