Box of Organic Ya Li Asian Pears

Ya Li is an heirloom Asian pear cultivar from China with the elongated shape of the European varieties. Its skin is a faint yellow-green (like a Nijisseiki). It has a fine, juicy texture and the most aromatic fragrance. Its flavor is sweet with a slight tartness and background notes of anise. Though Ya Li pears aren’t as sweet or crisp as some of the other Asian pear varieties we’re familiar with, its smooth and fine texture is the novelty here. 

Grown organically in Sebastopol.
