Fragrant Pear

Enjoy the crisp, juicy sweetness of China Fragrant Pear, a small aromatic pear fruit also known as Fragrant Pear, Korla Fragrant Pear, Xinjiang Fragrant Pear, Chinese Fragrant Pear or 香梨. This pear is loved for its thin skin, refreshing crunch, sweet flavour and delicate floral aroma.

Fragrant pears are usually small to medium in size, with smooth yellow-green skin, possible red blush, visible lenticels and a long slender stem. When fresh, the flesh is pale cream to snow-white, crisp, juicy and sweet, with a clean pear fragrance and low acidity.

Some customers may call this an ugly pear because the skin can show natural spots, lenticels, red blush, scuff marks or light surface blemishes. These cosmetic marks are normal for many pears and do not always affect the eating quality. Avoid pears that are mouldy, leaking, fermented-smelling or collapsed.

China Fragrant Pear is best enjoyed fresh, chilled, peeled or sliced. Its crisp texture also works well in fruit salads, green salads, lunchboxes, cheese boards, simple desserts, poached pear recipes and refreshing fruit platters.

What is Fragrant Pear?

Fragrant Pear is a Chinese pear known for its sweet aroma, crisp flesh and high juiciness. The famous type is often called Korla Fragrant Pear or Xinjiang Fragrant Pear, referring to the pear-growing region of Korla in Xinjiang, China.

In Chinese, it is commonly called 香梨, while Korla Fragrant Pear is written as 库尔勒香梨 or 庫爾勒香梨. Customers may also search for it as Chinese fragrant pear, Xiang Li pear, Xinjiang pear or China pear.

This product is written as China Fragrant Pear because the pear is commonly associated with China. If you need the exact latest carton origin, size or batch condition, please contact SKC Fruits before ordering.

Is Fragrant Pear from China?

Yes. The well-known fragrant pear sold in fruit shops is commonly from China, especially when labelled as Korla Fragrant Pear, Xinjiang Fragrant Pear, Chinese Fragrant Pear or 香梨.

Korla Fragrant Pear is closely associated with Korla in Xinjiang, China. However, packaging, grower, size and grade may vary by shipment, so the latest carton label should always be checked if exact origin matters.

Why Does Fragrant Pear Sometimes Look Like an Ugly Pear?

Fragrant pear skin can show natural lenticels, pores, red blush, brown speckles, small scuff marks or uneven colouring. These marks are usually cosmetic and can happen during growing, handling or storage.

A pear with light surface blemishes can still be perfectly edible if the flesh is firm, fresh and not mouldy. Avoid pears with leaking juice, fermented smell, mould, collapsed areas or deep soft rot.

Fragrant Pear vs Other Pear Varieties

Fragrant pear is best understood as a crisp Chinese pear with a small size, thin skin and aromatic sweetness. It is different from soft Western pears such as Packham, Bartlett or Conference.

How to Choose a Good Fragrant Pear

Choose fragrant pears that feel firm and heavy for their size. The skin should look fresh, with no mould, leaking juice or collapsed soft patches. Natural spots, pores and light blemishes are normal for many pears.

Unlike soft Western pears, fragrant pears are usually eaten firm and crisp. A very soft fragrant pear may be overripe or damaged.

How to Eat Fragrant Pear

Fragrant pear is best enjoyed fresh and chilled. Wash gently, peel if preferred, then slice around the core. The flesh is crisp and juicy, making it suitable for children’s lunchboxes, office fruit and after-meal fruit.

It can also be sliced into salads, paired with cheese, added to fruit platters or used in simple desserts. Some customers also use fragrant pear for poached pear recipes or light cooked desserts.

• Peel the skin if preferred
• Slice around the core
