What is the Asian Pear?
The Asian pear is a fruit that closely resembles an apple in its shape. It has the same crunch and texture as an apple, but it holds the pear’s sweet taste and flavor. It was cultivated mostly in China and Japan until the United States Asian immigrant demanded it in the United States. It is now cultivated in California and does not have the same process to ripen as the regular pears do. Most of the other pears have to wait to ripen where the Asian pear is picked while ripe and ready to eat. It lasts longer when it is refrigerated. The most common of the Asian pears that you see in the United States are round and yellow or brownish with a bumpy skin. This pear is sometimes referred to as the Nashi pear.
When it comes to finding a good quality Asian pear, you will select them by their smell instead of how firm they are. They will usually have a sweet strong scent. Most fruits are ripe when they are gentle but the Asian pear is actually ripe when it is firm. This pear has a longer shelf life than most fruits and can be refrigerated for a few days. These pears are seasonal and are only available from July to October in California, Japan, Oregon and Washington. This pear is known as one of the antioxidant fruits because of all the beneficial ways it contributes to your health. The Asian pear is the oldest known pear to be cultivated.
