Pears Apple | Also known as Asian pears or ''apple pears,'' these fruits are crisp, juicy, and round, resembling apples in texture and shape. Cultivated primarily in East Asia, they are enjoyed fresh, in salads, or as a snack. Notable varieties include 'Chojuro', 'Korean Giant', and 'Nijisseiki', each offering unique flavors and textures. These pears are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, contributing to digestive health and immune support. They are typically harvested in late summer to early autumn and are best consumed when fully ripe. In culinary traditions, they are sometimes used in marinades and sauces, leveraging their natural sweetness and enzyme content.
