The flesh of a Chinese Golden Pear is remarkably crisp and juicy, often described as having a refreshing crunch, similar to an apple, but with the unique, subtle sweetness of a pear. Unlike some European pear varieties, its flesh typically doesn’t become soft or buttery when ripe; it retains its firm texture, making it excellent for eating fresh. Its flavor is mildly sweet with a delicate aroma, often with a hint of honey.
