First Asian Pears of the Season and Boy Are They Good!!!

2010-08-29T05:05:50Z

We are nearing the end of the first week of harvest on our Asian Pears, and I am again reminded of the amazing & remarkable flavor of the Asian Pear. After the first few bites of a Shinseiki in the morning hours of the first day of picking, I am often left to ponder the reasons why they are not considered a first-tier fruit by most folks. They are, all at the same time, crisp, juicy, tangy, sweet, crunchy & most-of-all refreshing beyond compare. And on top of all of that, they will store, relatively unchanged, in the refrigerator for almost 2 full months in most cases - put one in and forget about it, only to return to its amazing flavor and texture.

So at the end of this first week, I am, once again, resolved to spread the word about Asian Pears. You will find me at the farm, at Farmer's Markets, doing deliveries, and even in my rare spare time, talking about their amazing qualities. We do really try to raise the best fruit that we can, and in this our 10th season, I am once again rewarded by the tremendous fruit that is the Asian Pear from Gabriel Farm...

Hope to see you all soon...
