(unresolved); Pyrus serotina Rehder); Rosaceae Week : Roasaceae plant for id-08102011-BS-3: Pls id this tree of Rosaceae family flowers not seen, this tree was shot in Garden of NBPGR Shimla Can it be any Malus sp.? I had tasted this, was quite sour and acrid and not edible. I hope Pyrus pyrifolia, Asian pear or sand pear a very good source of soluble and insoluble fibre... and that sandy-ness is what gives it a texture.. crunchy-ness missing in other pears... .. cultivate a taste for this, buy, let it sit on kitchen counter for few days, when just soft wash well and bite in... your body will tell you: thanks... and then you can thank me, Ha ha :) :) lowers cholesterol because of soluble fibre... if taken regularly....
Thanks .... for recipe, I will try to find out if it is available somewhere in the market, as I am sure it is never sold here in Punjab and Haryana Rosaceae Fortnight: Pyrus pyrifolia 'Hosui' from California-GSSEP78/78 : 3 posts by 2 authors.
