Knowledge Drop | Pears are a symbolic fruit around the world, starting with those in ancient China who believed pears represent prosperity + immortality.

Because pear trees live for a long time, they were seen as a symbol of immortality and prosperity in ancient China. In Korea, they symbolize wisdom and health. The gut-healing fruit supplies your body with soluble and insoluble fiber, which help aid digestion. Topped with anti-inflammatory turmeric spiced walnuts and our antioxidant-rich dark cherry balsamic, this salad is sure to make you feel like you're immortal.
