Date: January 12, 2008 09:26PM I just tried one and it was a cross of pear/apple with juicy, somewhat salty flovor. Anyone else have a comment? Janice Re: chinese pear

Just FYI, are you aware that commercial, conventional Asian pears are usually treated with fungicide? It says it on the side of the case. I used to peel those ones before eating. Cheers. Re: chinese pear

Date: January 14, 2008 01:37AM Thanks all for your replies. I got 3 for a 1.00. at a local produce place. I did wash it well, but maybe I will peel it next to be more careful.They are wrapped in indivdual white soft casings to protect them, I guess.
