Nashi Pear

Nashi pear (Korean Pear, Apple Pear, or Sand Pear) is a fantastic Korean sweet treat after each meal. This fruit is native to East Asia and spreads to India, Nepal, New Zealand, the United States, and Australia. Its flowers are the symbol of spring in this country. It has green skin that is covered in countless little dots. It resembles well-known Western pears. There are some variances between them, though.

The flavor and size of a Japanese pear will be gentler. If you enjoy crisp pears, you should prefer Nashi because it has a crunchier texture than Western pears. The spherical shape of this fruit makes it easy to recognize this cultivar. Koreans will not use it in pies or jams because of its high water content, crunchiness, and grainy texture. Typically, people consume raw Nashi Pear after each meal. Moreover, it appears in soy or vinegar-based sauces and beef dishes. Because of its high price, it becomes a popular gift for your guests or consumed in family gatherings. In Korea, some famous places contain its name, such as The Naju Pear Museum or Pear Orchard for Tourists.
