A pear can be described as gritty when it has a coarse or grainy texture, often due to the presence of stone cells, also known as sclereids. These cells are more prominent in certain varieties, like the Bartlett or Bosc Pears, giving them a slightly crunchy feel. This grittiness is a natural characteristic of the fruit and contributes to its unique mouthfeel, distinguishing it from smoother fruits like apples or peaches.
