Pear Juice Concentrate (16 oz)

Pear in your everyday routine

Choose a pear drink after lunch or dinner if you prefer a mellow fruit flavor. One tablespoon is the labeled serving; use the amount of water that makes the drink enjoyable to you. There is no required time of day beyond taking the daily serving after a meal.

A second way to enjoy the bottle is as a cooking ingredient. Add it to food for taste, keeping the recipe portion separate from your daily serving plan. A small change in fruit flavor can make a familiar meal feel different.

Frequently asked questions

Is pear a good choice if I dislike very tart drinks?

Its current flavor profile is mellow, with rounded sweetness and low tartness. That makes it a useful option to try. You can further adjust the strength with water, without needing to change the measured serving.

Can pear balance a stronger berry concentrate?

It can change the flavor balance of a blend by contributing mellow pear flavor and natural fruit sweetness. Begin with a small amount of each concentrate and add water before tasting. It does not remove another ingredient’s sugar or acidity.

Does this replace a whole pear?

Use it as juice concentrate, not as a like-for-like replacement for whole fruit. It supplies concentrated pear flavor without the same texture and bulk. For a recipe calling for pear pieces, keep that distinction in mind.

How many servings are in 16 fl oz?

About 32 labeled servings of 1 tablespoon. If you mix 1 fl oz concentrate with 7 fl oz water, that stronger glass uses two labeled servings, and the bottle makes sixteen such glasses.

Where else can I use it?

Try a little in plain yogurt, oats, a vinaigrette or a finishing sauce. Measure the recipe amount and taste before adding more. A shared recipe divides its concentrate among the portions it makes.

Is sugar or another juice added?

No. The only ingredient is 100% pear juice concentrate. It contains naturally occurring fruit sugars, so “no added sugar” does not mean sugar-free. Anything added to a finished recipe changes that recipe’s ingredients.

When should I use my daily serving?

Use one labeled serving daily after a meal. Midday or evening is your preference. For a drink, dilute the concentrate to taste; the amount used in a shared recipe is divided among that recipe’s portions.

How should I store it?

FruitFast keeps the bottle refrigerated until shipment; normal shipping does not require cold packs. Refrigerate or freeze on arrival and keep refrigerated after opening. For best quality, use within about six months and follow the label. See our concentrate storage guide.

Will this flavor always be available?

It is a limited-release product, so availability can change between production runs. Check the product’s current purchase options and current limited releases rather than relying on a promised restock date.

Choose the flavor you enjoy and adjust the dilution to your preference. This is a concentrate for mixing or food use, with portions you measure yourself.

Pear research and fruit compounds

Pear research explores phenolic acids, flavonols and other naturally occurring constituents. A pear’s chemistry varies with variety and processing, and juice concentrate differs from whole fruit in texture and composition. The linked guides introduce those compound groups and help put fruit research into context.

Explore phenolic acids, flavonols, polyphenols, or browse the Fruit Compound Library.

Research findings depend on the food or preparation studied, the amount used and the outcome measured. These educational links are not a finished-product assay or a promise of a particular health result.

Serving and mixing

Daily routine: one labeled serving after a meal. Choose midday or evening to suit your preference.

Labeled serving: 1 Tbsp (0.5 fl oz / approximately 15 mL). The 16 fl oz bottle contains about 32 labeled servings.

Shake before measuring. For an 8 fl oz lighter drink, mix 1 Tbsp (0.5 fl oz) concentrate with 7½ fl oz water. A classic 1:7 drink uses 2 Tbsp (1 fl oz) concentrate plus 7 fl oz water and contains two labeled servings.

For food, use the recipe amount rather than assuming each portion equals a labeled serving. See the mixing and reconstitution guide for more mixing context.

Ways to use Pear concentrate

Pear spritzer, one glass

Mix 1 tablespoon concentrate with 7½ fl oz sparkling water. Add ice and a thin slice of fresh ginger if desired. This makes an 8 fl oz drink before ice and uses one labeled serving of Pear concentrate.

Pear overnight oats, one bowl

Stir 1 tablespoon concentrate into ½ cup rolled oats and ½ cup milk or a milk alternative. Add a pinch of cinnamon, cover and refrigerate overnight. Stir before serving and add a little more milk if desired.

Pear vinaigrette, a shared batch

Whisk 1 tablespoon concentrate with 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Add pepper to taste. Use on leafy greens or a grain salad; the full dressing batch contains one tablespoon concentrate.

Pear-berry smoothie, one glass

Blend 1 tablespoon concentrate with ¾ cup plain yogurt or a milk alternative and ½ cup frozen berries. Add water a tablespoon at a time if needed. The berries supply texture while the concentrate adds pear flavor.

These are starting ideas to adjust to your taste. Explore the flavor partners above or browse current limited releases for other combinations.
