What is Bing Tang Pear?

Bing Tang Pear, written as 冰糖梨, is commonly known as Rock Sugar Pear or Crystal Sugar Pear. It is a sweet, juicy Asian-style pear that is often eaten fresh or used in Chinese-style pear soup.

The name refers to the pear’s rock-sugar-like sweetness. It does not mean the pear is coated with sugar or contains added sugar. The sweetness comes naturally from the fruit.

This product is listed as imported because the exact country, variety and packing may change depending on the latest shipment. Please contact SKC Fruits if you need to confirm the latest origin, size or batch before ordering.

Is Rock Sugar Pear the Same as Nam Shui Li Pear?

No, not always. Rock Sugar Pear / Bing Tang Pear / 冰糖梨 is usually a market name used for a sweet, juicy pear. Nam Shui Li / Nan Shui Li / Nansui / 南水梨 is a specific pear variety name.

Some sellers may use sweet pear names loosely, and some China-grown pear batches may look similar to other Asian pear varieties. However, unless the carton or supplier label clearly says 南水梨 or Nansui, it is safer to call this product Bing Tang Pear or Rock Sugar Pear.

Bing Tang Pear vs Other Pear Varieties

There are many pear varieties, and each has a different eating style. Bing Tang Pear is best understood as a sweet, juicy Asian-style pear with a crisp bite.

Bing Tang Pear for Pear Soup

Bing Tang Pear is commonly used for simple Chinese-style pear soup and rock sugar pear dessert. The pear can be peeled, cored and gently cooked with rock sugar, red dates, goji berries or snow fungus, depending on personal preference.

For a light dessert, cut the pear into pieces and simmer gently until the flesh softens slightly and the soup becomes naturally sweet. It can also be steamed whole with rock sugar inside the centre.

• Fresh chilled pear slices
• Rock sugar pear soup
• Steamed Bing Tang Pear
• Pear soup with red dates and goji berries
• Pear dessert with snow fungus
• Simple after-meal fruit
• Family fruit platter

How to Choose a Good Bing Tang Pear

Choose pears that feel heavy for their size, with fresh-looking skin and no mould or leaking. The pear should feel firm and juicy, not soft or collapsed.

Unlike soft Western pears, Asian-style pears are usually eaten crisp. A soft Bing Tang Pear may be overripe or damaged, so choose firm fruit unless the supplier gives different batch-specific guidance.

How to Eat Bing Tang Pear

Bing Tang Pear can be eaten fresh, chilled, peeled or sliced. The flesh is juicy and crisp, making it suitable for after-meal fruit, office fruit and simple family sharing.

• Wash gently before eating
• Peel the skin if preferred
• Slice around the core
• Serve fresh and chilled
• Add to fruit platters

• Store cut pear covered in the refrigerator

Storage and Handling Guide

• Refrigerate after receiving for best freshness
• Keep pears dry and away from strong odours
