Sheqi Snowflake Pears

Sheqi Snowflake Pears

　　The flesh is as white as jade, resembling snow and frost. The pear blossoms are pure white and flawless, much like snowflakes, hence the name "Snowflake Pear." The flesh is fine, crisp, tender, juicy, and sweet, with juice sugar content ranging from 11% to 15%. It also contains abundant protein, fat, fruit acid, minerals, and various vitamins and other nutrients. In addition to being uniquely delicious when eaten fresh, it can also be processed into various industrial foods and beverages with distinctive flavors such as canned pears, pear preserves, and pear juice. Snowflake Pears also have high medicinal value, offering benefits such as clearing the heart and moistening the lungs, aiding bowel movements, relieving coughs, moisturizing dryness and dispelling wind, and sobering up and detoxifying. The traditional Chinese medicine “pear paste” is made by simmering Snowflake Pears with Chinese herbal medicines.
