Crystal Sugar Pears, also known as Huangguan or New Century Pears, are a premium Chinese Asian pear variety prized for their exceptionally high sugar content, crisp texture, and abundant juice. Originating from the Hebei province of China, these round to slightly oval pears feature a smooth, thin golden-yellow skin and white, tender flesh that delivers a clean, sweet flavor with only the mildest hint of acidity.

Each pear is carefully hand-pollinated during bloom and wrapped individually as it matures to protect against pests and blemishes. The result is a consistently large, clean fruit with a small core and a high ratio of edible flesh. This 6.6-pound box contains multiple pears ideal for fresh eating, fruit platters, salads, or pairing with cheese.

Crystal Sugar Pears are best enjoyed fresh and at room temperature to bring out their full sweetness. Store unripe pears at room temperature until fragrant and slightly yielding at the stem end, then refrigerate for up to one week. They are naturally gluten-free and a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C.
