Seckel pears are a small, sweet variety of pear known for their unique, bite-sized shape and rich, flavorful taste. They have a round, squat appearance with a reddish-brown to green skin that often has a russeted texture. The flesh is tender and juicy, with a honey-like sweetness that stands out in both fresh and cooked dishes. Seckel pears are often enjoyed fresh, added to fruit salads, or used in desserts and preserves.
