　　Wuhua Pear

　　The Wuhua Pear, a member of the Pyrus genus, is a unique pear variety found only in Wuhua County. While it has drawbacks such as coarse flesh, high stone cell content, and unappealing looks, it is very nutritious. Tests indicate it contains abundant flavonoids beneficial to cardiovascular health. Processed into a variety of products including canned syrup, dried fruit, pear paste, pear juice, and pear wine, it offers outstanding medical values such as cough relief and lung moistening. Currently, our county has attracted investment from Lingnan Yubao Industrial Development Co., Ltd. to build a fruit and vegetable beverage processing plant, with plans to vigorously process a series of Wuhua Pear products. According to statistics, the pear is cultivated on over 10,000 mu of land in our county, mainly concentrated in towns such as Shuanghua, Qiaojian, and Mianyang. These areas feature cool climates, abundant rainfall, high organic matter content in the soil, and no nearby industrial or mining enterprises or pollution sources, making the Wuhua Pear a truly pollution-free product with high development and utilization value. In 2003, the Wuhua Pear was certified by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture as a pollution-free, organic green food.
