Korean pears, also known as Asian pears or Nashi pears, are a type of fruit native to East Asia. They are round, crisp, and have a smooth, yellowish-brown skin. Unlike traditional pears, which are soft when ripe, Korean pears maintain a crunchy texture, making them refreshing to eat. They are often enjoyed fresh, sliced in salads, or used in cooking. These pears are rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, contributing to a healthy diet. They are typically harvested in late summer to early fall and are popular in Korean cuisine. Their sweet, juicy flavor makes them a favorite snack and a common ingredient in various dishes.
