Prized highly for its exotic apple-like appearance and pear-like taste, the Asian Pear is a highly nutritious fruit that has delivered time-honored health benefits to people not just in Asia but also throughout the world. Also known as the apple pear, the Asian pear is customarily given as a pricey and precious gift throughout Asia. Because it is such a luxurious fruit, it is good enough to eat on its own immediately after picking. Asian Pear picking is a great family friendly activity!
