Asian Pears are round and russeted with wonderful sweet pear flavor. Champlain Orchards has started growing these and has three excellent varieties. Each week they will send us the best of them for you to try. They are Shinsui, Shinseki, Hosui or Yoinashi.
Bill and Andrea at Champlain Orchards are committed to ecological practices and are Eco-Apple certified. Due to the challenges of our Northeast climate, organic certification of apples is incredibly difficult. Their apples are never sprayed; only in the flowering stage are the trees treated using Integrated Pest Management to cut down on the risk of scab. No chemical pesticides are used on the orchards.
A nice way to enjoy the taste of pear in an a firm apple form, no mush. Also, a good size for a snack or desert when you don't want a huge apple.
Best Asian pears ever!!!
My kids beg for these every week. They are so very sweet and juicy. We get them every week they are available and they are gone by the weekend.
We completely agree with the other reviewers. These are nothing like storebought. They're so juicy that it's more like eating a ripe nectarine than a pear or an apple. And the flavor is amazing! I usually eat one walking home from our pick up.
Love, love, LOVE these tiny Asian pears! We get them every week they are offered and they are gobbled up in a couple days. Sweet, crisp and floral with a thin skin - they are just yummy. We'll be sad to see them go when the season is over.
These are fantastic! The grocery store ones are often too hard and fairly tasteless, but these are sweet, juicy, and delicious. Also, because they are smaller, they are easier to eat.
