Asian

Asian pears are also known as “apple pears”, in regards to their crisp apple-like crunch and often round shape. Asian pears are delicate in flavor and pair well with Asian-inspired dishes, as well as warm spices such as cardamom, nutmeg, and ginger. Asian Pears are excellently juiced, whether as a base for a cocktail, mocktail, or on their own.

The term Asian pear describes a large group of pear varieties having crisp, juicy fruit. The crisp texture of an Asian pear remains unchanged after picking or storage. There are three types of Asian pear: round or flat fruit with green to yellow skin; round or flat fruit with bronze-colored skin; and pear-shaped fruit with green or russet skin.
