Asian pears
Apple-shaped Eastern fruit
Asian pears are round, apple-shaped fruits with the crisp texture of an apple but the sweet, grainy flesh of a pear.
Unlike European pears, they're eaten when firm rather than soft.
Also called apple pears, sand pears, or nashi.
Asian pears are best chilled and sliced.
