Our Nihon NASHI or Asian Pears are tree-ripened; they are ready-to-eat when you receive them.
Unlike their European cousins, Asian Pears do not need to sit out to soften; as they are best enjoyed crisp and firm.
Asian Pears should be kept refrigerated for ideal enjoyment; unwrap your fresh Asian Pears and store them in your crisper drawer.
Your fresh pears will last about a month if kept refrigerated.
Traditionally Asian Pears are enjoyed peeled, but for several of our varieties the skins are a tasty way to enjoy the benefit of vitamins and minerals. Asian Pears are also full of Lutein and high in fiber.
Our fresh Asian Pear season is September through December, annually.
