Are you in the mood for an apple - or a pear? With Asian pears’ round shape, light, crisp texture and refreshingly fruity flavor, you get the best of both worlds. Asian pears - also known as Nashi or Chinese, Japanese or Korean pears based on origins - have a satisfying crunch reminiscent of an apple but with a sweet and nutty pear taste. They are spectacular when eaten as is or sliced into salads. Appearance varies: As you can see from our selection, skin ranges from a bronzed tan with a rough, pebbled texture to yellow-green, smooth and almost apple-like. Unlike most of the fruit we sell, Asian pears can be stored in a home refrigerator without any loss in taste or texture - perfect for stocking up and snacking on. Just as with European varieties, Asian pears provide a source of fiber for your diet, as well as vitamins A, C and K and beta-carotene, and minerals magnesium, calcium, potassium and iron. When you enjoy your Asian pears, keep in mind that this is how fruit is supposed to taste. We use organic, regenerative farming methods, growing Asian pears and other crops in a natural, thriving ecosystem with less impact on the climate. From here, we hand-pick all fruit and ripen them to perfection, delivering a fresh, unique taste right to your door.
