Sand Pears are incredibly refreshing peeled and eaten raw as a snack, although throughout Asia pears are sometimes added to stir-fries, soups and stews. In China, pears are steamed with rock sugar and cinnamon for a sweet and fragrant dessert.
Sand Pears ripen on the tree and maintain their crisp texture long after being picked. They are individually wrapped in foam net socks for protection during transit. Sand pears can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
