Organic Hosui Asian Pear (1 lb)

Amount: Approx 2-3 pears per lb

Hosui pears stand apart from other Asian varieties with their distinctively coarse, thick-textured skin. Despite maintaining that signature Asian pear crunch, the flesh delivers an almost melting quality that creates an extraordinary eating experience with each bite.

These pears showcase exceptional sweetness paired with a delicate pear flavor, while their striking golden color makes them perfect for elegant presentations and captures the essence of autumn.  The harvest season runs from late August through mid-September, with fresh fruit typically available through late October and into early November. Each pear is carefully hand-selected from K&J orchards and allowed to reach optimal ripeness before we pick them up for you.

Perfect as a portable snack or diced into salads for added crunch and sweetness, Hosui pears also excel when baked or poached in various recipes.

From a nutritional standpoint, these Asian pears serve as an excellent daily source of dietary fiber, along with vitamins A, C, and K. They're also rich in beta-carotene and essential minerals including magnesium, potassium, calcium, copper, and iron.
