Did you know?
Asian pears are also known as Nashi pears and are often referred to as apple pears due to their apple-like crunch.
They originated in China and have been cultivated for over 3,000 years, spreading to Japan and Korea, where they are a popular fruit.
They have a higher water content compared to regular pears, making them extra juicy and refreshing.
Drawback
Asian pears can be harder to find in certain regions outside of Asia, making them less accessible for some.
Their skin can be tough for some people to peel, although it’s edible.
If not properly stored, they can become mealy and lose their crispness quickly.
