Asian Pear

Posted on 24. Jan, 2010 by grace in Ingredients

There are many varieties of Asian Pear. Unlike traditional pears, Asian pears are unusually crunchy and juicy like apples when they are ripe. They can be stored for a week at room temperature or up to three months in the refrigerator. They are a good source of vitamin C and fiber. You may enjoy them just as they are or in salads.  They are also used in the  marinade for Korean beef which tenderizes the meat.
