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.
Itâs strange to think we need to be taught how to ripen pears. Donât plants do this sort of thing on their own, without busybody humans getting into their business? The thing is, pears are one of the only fruits that donât ripen on the tree/vine. A tree-ripened pear is mealy and mushy. So pears are best picked green. Many folks have come to believe that pears are picked green in order to truck here and there around the country without bruising them.
