Sweet, crisp and refreshing, with orange overtones.
Asian pears store exceptionally well and are the perfect size for any lunchbox.
This week's variety is Niitaka.
Store in the refrigerator.
The Asian pears are sweet and juicy. They tend to be on the small side, (about 1.5 size a golf ball) but the skin is not as thick as the kind you get at the Asian supermarket, so it's fine to eat the skin. It makes a handy, easy snack to pack for my kids.
These had great flavor! Sometimes Asian pears are quite watery, but not these--just nice and juicy. They are pretty small--my kids usually eat two.
