How to choose Fengshui pear

1. Look at the peel: When choosing a pear, you should first look at the peel. If the peel looks very thick, it means the fruit is rough and lacks moisture. If the peel is thin and fine, without pests, scars or injuries, it is a good quality pear.

2. Look at the shape of the fruit: Pears of good quality have a regular shape, delicate flesh, crisp and tender texture, few granular tissues or stone cells in the flesh, rich juice, and usually taste sweet. Pears with irregular shapes, or deformities, without stalks, uneven sizes, or small sizes usually have rough flesh, less juice, large and numerous stone cells, bland taste, or even bitter and astringent taste, and are of poor quality.

3. Look at the navel: When choosing pears, pay attention to the navel, which is the depression at the bottom of the pear. Pears with deep navels and round surrounding areas taste better, while pears with shallow navels and non-round surroundings taste inferior.
