Apple pear is one of the precious fruits of the cold temperate regions of the north. It has health benefits such as drying dampness and strengthening the spleen, softening blood vessels, harmonizing the stomach and stopping vomiting and diarrhea, and reducing phlegm and relieving cough. It has been praised by nutritionists as a “health food” and “functional food.” Apple pear is especially resistant to storage. In an ordinary vegetable cellar, undamaged fruits can be kept until May or June of the following year, and their color becomes even more vivid——golden yellow set off by a bright red blush, while the flesh becomes even crisper and more juicy, with a rich, sweet fragrance.
