Korean Pears

Uses:

Melissa’s Korean Pears are crunchy, juicy and sweet. Extreme care is taken while growing these pears, the outcome is a clean, blemish-free fruit. Unlike Western pears, Korea's Asian Pears are round and large in size. The skin of the pear has a light, brownish-yellow tint while the inner flesh is white. This variety is bred to have an extremely thin skin. This is one of the reasons it must be wrapped when growing. Therefore, when a bite is taken, the taste is a juicy, sweet, flesh, not a bitter skin. They are crisp, sweet and refreshing.  Melissa's Korean Pears have a variety of uses in cooking, sliced, diced or shredded over salads, baked, or stuffed for desserts.  Melissa's Korean Pears make a flavorful alternative to any recipe traditionally made with conventional Asian Pears.

Selection, Storage & Handling:

Melissa’s Korean Pears are hand selected for excellent quality.  Sold ripe and ready to eat, choose Korean Pears that are firm and fragrant. Korean Pears may be stored at room temperature for a week or so, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
