Approximately 5 Nashi

Nashi, also known as Asian pear or Pyrus pyrifolia, is a fruit that originated in East Asia and is now cultivated in various parts of the world. Nashi resembles a cross between an apple and a pear in terms of appearance and texture. It has a round to slightly pear-shaped body with a crisp and juicy flesh. The skin can range in color from yellow to golden brown, and it may have a speckled or russeted texture.

The taste of nashi is sweet, refreshing, and mildly fragrant, with flavors that can resemble a combination of pear, apple, and even a hint of vanilla. Nashi pears are typically enjoyed fresh, either by biting into them like an apple or by slicing them and adding them to salads, fruit platters, or desserts. They can also be used in baking, poaching, or juicing.

Nashi pears are known for their high water content and are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy choice for a snack or as part of a balanced diet.
