European pears are usually harvested in a green stage and allowed to ripen at room temperature. Asian pears will be crisp and juicy, with some tartness, especially near the core. European pears will be soft and juicy, with a sweeter, more mellow taste. Many Asian pear cultivars are available.
Attached to the tree: Pears are best picked when the fruit separates easily from the twigs. If it is hard to pull off the tree, it isn't ready! Texture: A pear ready to be picked should have a feeling of springiness to its flesh. Close your hand around one and squeeze.
