Subarashii Kudamono Asian Pears

If you've never had a real Asian Pear, you're in for an INCREDIBLE treat. These aren't your typical supermarket pear. Relatively unknown and underrated (though they’ve been around for thousands of years), Asian pears are prized by chefs and those in the know. Grown by Subarashii Kudamono ("Wonderful Fruit" in Japanese) in Pennsylvania, they are admired for their super crisp taste and firmness -- not to mention their large size. STOCK UP NOW because the growing season ends soon!

An American businessman traveling in Japan first tasted Asian Pears in the 1970s and was so enchanted, he carried home the seeds for his wife--a botanist!--to plant in their backyard, starting the farm.
