What it is
Asian pears are a type of pear native to East Asia, with a crisp, juicy texture and a mild, sweet flavor. They are typically eaten fresh, though they can also be used in cooking and baking. The fruit is grown in many countries, including the United States.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Asian pears primarily for their natural sweetness and refreshing texture. They are often found in fresh fruit mixes, dried fruit snacks, and sometimes as a natural flavoring in beverages or desserts. Their firm texture also makes them suitable for some baked goods.
Health notes
Asian pears are a source of dietary fiber and vitamin C. They are not typically subject to regulation as a food additive in the US when consumed as a whole food. International bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated whole fruits for additive purposes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming Asian pears as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Asian pears are not a major allergen. They do not contain gluten.
