Asian pears, also called apple pears, are prized for their crisp texture and sweet, juicy flesh that combines traits of both apples and pears. Grown primarily in mild climates like California, Oregon, and Washington. Their distinctive round shape, golden or yellow-brown skin, and refreshing taste with a mild crunch make Asian pears ideal for fresh eating, salads, or pairing with cheeses, offering a unique and flavorful addition to the fruit selection.
