Asian Pear

Asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia), also known as nashi, apple pears, or Korean/Japanese pears, are crisp, highly juicy fruits native to East Asia. Known for their round shape and sweet, mild flavor, they are crunchy like apples, high in fiber and potassium, and are typically eaten fresh, used in salads, or paired with meats, lasting up to 3 months in the fridge.
