These pears contain vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, iron, magnesium, and some riboflavin. They are a member of the rose family, very similar to green anjou pears, and are interchangeable in recipes. Like their green counterparts, red pears are a low-fat, cholesterol-free food. What differentiates the two is the antioxidant compounds found in the skin of red pears. Red pears have a high concentration of the phytonutrient anthocyanin. Anthocyanin has anti-aging properties, promotes heart health and protects against cancer.
