Nam Shui Pear

Enjoy the crisp, juicy sweetness of China Nam Shui Pear, also known as Nan Shui Pear, Nansui Pear or 南水梨. This Asian pear has a round apple-like shape, golden-brown skin and refreshing juicy flesh that is delicious when served chilled.

Nam Shui Pear is firm, crunchy and sweet, with pale cream to white flesh and a clean low-acid flavour. It has the familiar apple-pear bite of Asian pears, making it suitable for fresh eating, fruit platters, after-meal fruit, office fruit and family sharing.

This pear can also be gently cooked with 冰糖, or rock sugar, for a simple Chinese-style pear dessert. When cooked, the pear flesh softens and becomes more translucent, while the natural sweetness blends nicely with the rock sugar syrup.

The name 南水梨 is often written in English as Nam Shui Pear, Nan Shui Pear or Nansui Pear. Nansui is a pear variety name, while this product is sold here as China Nam Shui Pear because the latest packaging shown indicates China origin.

What is Nam Shui Pear?

Nam Shui Pear, written as 南水梨, is an Asian pear known for its crisp texture, juicy flesh and sweet flavour. It may also be written as Nan Shui Pear or Nansui Pear, depending on translation and packaging.

Nansui was originally developed as a Japanese pear cultivar, but the fruit is also grown and sold from other regions, including China. For this product listing, the correct customer-facing name is China Nam Shui Pear because the product packaging shown indicates China origin.

Nam Shui Pear should not be confused with Bing Tang Pear, Shingo Pear, Singo Pear or Korean Pear. These are different pear names and should not be mixed unless the supplier carton clearly confirms the same product.

Is Nam Shui Pear the Same as Bing Tang Pear?

No, not automatically. Nam Shui Pear / 南水梨 and Bing Tang Pear / 冰糖梨 are different pear names. Bing Tang Pear usually means Rock Sugar Pear, while Nam Shui Pear refers to 南水梨.

However, Nam Shui Pear can still be cooked with 冰糖, which means rock sugar. In this product page, 冰糖 is used as a serving and cooking idea, not as the product variety name.

Nam Shui Pear vs Other Pear Varieties

There are many Asian pear varieties, and the names can be confusing. Nam Shui Pear is best understood as a crisp, juicy Asian pear with golden-brown skin and a refreshing sweet taste.

How to Choose a Good Nam Shui Pear

Choose Nam Shui pears that feel heavy for their size, with fresh-looking golden-brown skin and no mould, leaking juice or collapsed soft patches. Natural speckles are normal for Asian pears.

Nam Shui Pear is usually eaten firm and crisp, so it does not need to soften like a Western pear. A very soft pear may be overripe or damaged.

How to Eat Nam Shui Pear

Nam Shui Pear is best enjoyed fresh and chilled. Wash the pear, peel if preferred, then slice around the centre core.

The crisp slices are refreshing as after-meal fruit, office fruit, lunchbox fruit or a fruit platter item. The pear can also be cooked gently with rock sugar for a warm dessert.

• Wash gently before eating
• Peel the skin if preferred
• Slice around the centre core
• Serve fresh and chilled
• Add to fruit platters or salads
• Cook with 冰糖 for a simple pear dessert
