Papple 1kg (Pack)

Papple pears are an excellent source of dietary fiber and vitamin C and also contain some antioxidants.

Papple pears, botanically classified as a hybrid between the European pear, Pyrus communis, and the Asian pear, Pyrus pyrifolia, are a new variety that are members of the Rosaceae family along with apples and peaches. Originally labeled T109 and Prem109, Papple pears are not an apple but are unique in that they have the appearance and texture of an apple and the taste of a pear. This variety has acquired its unique hues and flavor characteristics from many different varieties within the Asian and European categories, and Papple pears were developed by the Plant and Food Research Station in New Zealand to create a new hybrid category known for its long storage capabilities and appealing visual novelty. Papple pears are also known in Singapore as the Sunshine pear and are exported globally for fresh eating.
