Pear Farmers Thanking Rick Ross, Rick Ross recently shed a TON of weight, and he’s crediting the success to CrossFit…and to eating pears. After an interview Rozay did with Tim Westwood last month about his new diet went viral, fans have made Rozay’s social media presence all-pear-everything from emojis on his photos to memes and even autographing them, so it’s no surprise that pear companies are seeing a surge in social media impressions as well…and they’re excited!

USA Pears spokesperson Kathy Stephenson recently talked to Modern Farmer, and she says though it’s still a bit too early to see a sales increase just yet, they’ve certainly seen an increase in social media impressions.

“On behalf of our 1,600 pear growers from the Northwest region, we are pleased that Rick has mentioned the health benefits of pears,” Stephenson writes in an email to Modern Farmer, adding that pears provide 24 percent of the recommended daily intake of fiber, which helps curb an appetite. “Overall, we could not be more pleased with our message being delivered to a new, young and hip demographic.”
