What kind of fruit is it?

The Asian pear is a fruit known for its crunchy texture and juicy sweetness. It has lots of water in it, so eating it on a warm autumn day feels super refreshing!

What kinds are there?

There are many kinds of Asian pears. The main types are "Japanese Asian pears," which have been grown in Japan for a long time, and "Western pears," which came from other countries.

• Kousui: This is a famous type of Japanese Asian pear. It is very sweet and full of juice.
• Housui: It is a little bigger than Kousui. It has a great balance of sweet and sour flavors.

The Asian pear gets its crunchy texture from little things inside the fruit called "stone cells." These stone cells are what give the Asian pear its special crunch when you eat it!
