Seckel pear compared to regular pear

A specialty pear that has the traditional pear shape but much smaller in size. The thicker outer skin, which is yellowish-green and red in color, covers a white juicy flesh that is very sweet and spicy in flavor. The texture of the flesh is firmer than other soft fleshed pears, making it a good pear for cooking and canning. It is also known as the sugar pear.
