The Health Benefits of Asian pear

Ya pear, Asian pear or Chinese white pear is a fruit that is native to China and Japan. Ya Pear can be described as having a thin yellow skin and have the same shape as the ordinary pear. Ya pear is commonly eaten out-of-hand or added cold in dishes. They taste like a mixture of a rose and a pineapple. It is not recommended to warm up ya pears, or to prepare it in a warm dish.

 

Asian pears vary in colour from golden yellow to russeted green and are often times speckled with small brown spots. Additionally Asian pears can vary in shape and size; the most commonly grown in the United States are Japanese varieties, which have a round squat shape similar to that of an apple.

 

The fruit consists of lots of water which, after heating, will vaporize most of the fruit. They can be used in salads, slaws, soups, and sandwiches. Enjoy Ya pears as you would with other pears and apples in cobblers and fruit crisps. These fruits are high in fiber, low in calories and contain a number of micronutrients that are important for blood, bone, and cardiovascular health.

 

Considered cold in nature, pears are used by traditional Chinese medicine to detoxify, regenerate body fluids, dissolve mucus, quench thirst, relieve restlessness, promote urination, treat constipation, alleviate retina pain, and heal skin lesions among other benefits.
