The pear has numerous benefits such as a high energizing power, due to the presence of sugars and vitamins B1 and B2, which promote the recovery of forces.
The glucose present in summer helps to counteract the heat, restoring a normal body temperature.
The pear is renowned for its intestinal function, thanks to the high presence of fiber, but also lignin, which seems to prevent the onset of colon cancer. Moreover, sorbitol, despite being a sugar, is able to prevent dental caries and promotes digestion, while pectin plays a laxative effect and keeps bad cholesterol under control. The presence of vitamin A is useful in combating aging of the skin (together with vitamin E) and protect the eyes, improving vision.

Historical outline of the project:
It is a fruit known since ancient times, much appreciated for its taste and digestibility, of which there are over 3000 varieties, different in shape, taste, texture of the pulp and skin tone. The thigh pear became popular during the Medici period in Florence and was cultivated in the area of Mugello, Bagno a Ripoli and Pontassieve. With time it has become quite rare, and today its cultivation is scarce. The name comes from the roundish shape of the pear that, once, reminded of the formosities of women of the past.
Notes:  
The pear can be used for the preparation of different sweet recipes, such as jams, juices and liqueurs. For juices are used mostly pear Decana and Kaiser, while for jams and liqueurs is mainly used quince. The latter should not be eaten naturally, as it is not properly edible, having a very sour taste and a particularly hard consistency.
