Has anyone had apple pears?

[Deleted]

This is so weird. I feel like I'm eating very lightly pear flavored jicama.

The texture is amazing but the flavor is almost nonexistent.

Hmmm, that sounds great until you said the flavor is almost nonexistent.

What is an apple pear?

Is this like a Japanese pear?

I love Japanese pears.

I ate apple pears in Korea all the time. I love them.

That's it. Are they usually pretty flavorful? Maybe I got some not great ones.

This is what I am talking about too, LOL. 

I haven't had one since I lived there, so a long freakin' time.  But I remember loving them a lot.

They should be sweet! And crunchy! And very watery!

I'd say "juicy," but the reality is that it's more "watery" than "juicy."

Very refreshing!

They are all of these things but not very sweet. Hmm. Maybe they need to ripen a bit, but apples never need to ripen. Lol

yeah, I always knew them as Japanese pears too. Miso, are you not supposed to eat the skin? I think I remember my friend telling me that.

OMG I'm laughing so hard right now.  Our nanny had been leaving these around our kitchen.  I told her she should eat her apples more or put them in the fridge for later and she gave me the strangest look.  Now I know why.

When I was little, my mom would take the skin off for us.

I don't know if you're not supposed to eat the skin, but I think they taste better without the skin.
