What is Korean Pear?

Korean Pear is a crisp Asian pear from Korea. It is usually round, large, firm and juicy, with pale brown to golden-brown skin and pale cream to white flesh.

In Korea, pear is called bae or 배. Korean pears are often enjoyed fresh, sliced after meals, shared as gifts, used in desserts, and sometimes used in Korean cooking or marinades because of their natural sweetness and juice.

Korean Pear vs China Brown Pear

Korean pear and China brown pear can look similar because both may have brown or golden-brown skin and crisp Asian pear texture. However, they should not be treated as the same product unless the carton label confirms it.

This product is from Korea. China brown pear or Chinese brown pear may refer to different Chinese pear varieties, and the flavour, size, texture, sweetness and storage quality may vary.

Korean Pear vs Western Pear

Korean pear is very different from soft Western pears such as Packham, Bartlett, Conference or La France. Korean pear is eaten firm and crisp, while many Western pears are eaten after softening.

How to Choose a Good Korean Pear

Choose Korean pears that feel heavy for their size, with smooth pale brown skin and no mould, leaking juice or collapsed soft patches. Natural speckles are normal for brown Asian pears.

Korean pears are usually eaten firm and crisp, so they do not need to become soft like Western pears. A very soft Korean pear may be overripe or damaged.

How to Eat Korean Pear

Korean pear is best enjoyed fresh and chilled. Wash the pear, peel if preferred, then slice around the centre core. The slices are crisp, juicy and refreshing, making them suitable for after-meal fruit, fruit platters and sharing.

Korean pear can also be used in simple desserts and cooked preparations. When gently cooked with rock sugar, the flesh softens and becomes more translucent, giving a warm, sweet pear dessert with a gentle aroma.

• Wash gently before eating
• Peel the skin if preferred
• Slice around the centre core
• Serve fresh and chilled
• Add to fruit platters, salads or cheese boards
