Pears are typically ready to be picked when they have reached full size and are beginning to change color, depending on the variety. Unlike many fruits, pears should be harvested while still firm, as they ripen off the tree. A good indicator is to gently twist the fruit; if it comes off easily, it's ready to be picked. It's best to pick them a few weeks before they would naturally ripen on the tree for optimal flavor and texture.

The flesh of the ripe fruit is usually soft and mealy.Asian pears were developed from several Pyrus species, but are usually considered to belong to the genus Pyrus and the species serotina. Asian pears are sometimes marketed as "Sand pears", "Chinese pears", "Japanese pears", or "apple pears". Asian pears are usually fairly round and ripen on the tree. The flesh is usually white, crisp, sweet, and juicy. Asian pears are best eaten after being held in the refrigerator for a day or two. Then the fruit is peeled, cored, and sliced.
