NASHI PEAR
Nashi pears (Pyrus pyrifolia and P. ussuriensis) are juicy round pears,
shaped like apples. Because of the resemblance, some people call them "apple
pears." They originated in East Asia where they are a popular fruit, eaten
as a thirst quencher. Nash, is a generic word for pears and European pears
are called Yonashi. The fruit are harvested in fall and nashi may be used as
an autumn kigo (or season word) in writing haiku.
Once reserved as a food to be served only to the wealthy and to Chinese
nobles, Nashi pears have been grown, cultivated, and eaten for centuries.
Little is known about their origin... it's estimated that they began
appearing at least 3,000 years ago in China.
Some varieties spread westward, and those ended up looking and tasting more
like the pears with which most people are familiar. The varieties that
spread eastward, however, took on more of an apple-like shape and a crisper
quality, and those became the Nashi pears we know today.
They were first introduced to Americans on the West Coast by Chinese migrant
workers during the 1850s. Even today, this region - California and Oregon,
in particular - remains the largest Nashi pear producing region of our
country. At first, trees were grown from seeds found in the fruit, and their
quality was widely varied. It wasn't until the early 1900s, when pomologists
began mastering crossing techniques, that reliable, high-quality Asian pears
were grown in the U.S. In the 1980s, there was a sudden increase in demand
for Asian pears brought on by the increasing population of immigrant
Americans in the U.S. and Canada.
Health Benefits
Nashi pears are a great source of dietary fiber, and they're also very high
in potassium and other essential minerals. They contain nearly 10% of the
USRDA for Vitamin C, and a high concentration of folates, which make up the
Vitamin B complex group. These vitamins are essential for metabolic activity
and red blood cell production.
