Nashi pear - Pyrus
pyrifolia
|
| The Nashi pear, Pyrus pyrifolia, is sometimes called the Asian pear. They are sweet on the tree and are eaten crisp or else bletted. Nashi pears generally are not baked in pies or made into jams because they have a high water content and a crisp, grainy texture, very different from the buttery European varieties. Also, Nashi pears are not as intensely sweet, having a more refreshing, light taste. |
