Nashi Pear

December 20th, 2009

The nashi pear, or Asian pear, was been cultivated for thousands of years. Its antioxidants and phytonutrient profile may help with heart disease. Modern Science shows that this powerful cleansing pear is helpful in treating urinary and digestive problems, including constipation.

The nutritional benefits are:

  • Vitamin C
  • Dietary Fiber
  • B Vitamins

The pear can help with:

  • Red Blood Cell Production
  • Gastrointestinal Health

There is a very interesting blog done by a college student in Japan, named Calvin, about a visit to an Asian Pear farm. It is worth the read if you are interested. Each individual pear is wrapped in two pieces of paper and unlike the pear, the Asian pear must rippen on the vine.

This information can also be found on antioxidant-fruits.com’s Travel to Fruit Page.
