Dew Drop Pear

Has anyone heard of it? This one showed up at a local Walmart an I am wondering if it goes by another name. I would like to know if it is a hardy pear, my area is very limited in pear production.

The big question everyone wants to know is can we get them yet? I’m patiently waiting in the USA which i think is only a matter of time. Happi is in Washington and being grown commercially and dew drop is in Canada released to the public. It is a matter of time until we see them both everywhere.

The New Fruit I Cannot Stop Eating (It’s in Grocery Stores Now)

To know me is to know my love of fruit. If a fruit is high-quality and in-season, then I’m eating it. I go through cycles depending on seasonality, and now that we’re officially in autumn, it’s pear time.

Pears don’t get enough respect in the U.S., especially since some excellent pears are grown in Oregon and Washington. I’ve been as guilty as the next shopper, grabbing one at the grocery on occasion to accompany a cheese board or add to an apple crisp, and ignoring them otherwise.

No more! I’ve been on a quest to try various varieties of pears, and I’ve found a new favorite. Not just a favorite pear, a favorite fruit. And it’s a new type called Happi Pear.

What Makes Happi Pears Special

Happi Pears are lovely to look at sitting in a bowl on your table, but they’re even better to eat. The fruit flat-out knocked my socks off when I tried it for the first time. I reached out to Brianna Shales, the marketing director at Stemilt (which distributes Happi Pear), for help describing the special pear. “It’s juicy and has just the right amount of zest,” she says.

“One of the great things about Happi Pear is… its ability to be eaten during many stages of ripeness. When green and firm, Happi is crunchy and zesty, and when yellow and soft, it is super juicy and sweet.”

One thing I’ve struggled with over the years with pears is nailing the ripeness and the texture. I’ve tried this pear both ways, and it’s great no matter what. I especially love it green and firm, since it has the pure crunch factor of an apple while still being juicy. It also has a little tartness, which transforms into a deeper sweetness once ripe.

I like eating them out of hand, but you can also use Happi Pears [in baking](

Where To Find Happi Pears

Happi Pears are available this year from September through November and can be found in many stores, including Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Costco, The Fresh Market, Ingles, Hy-Vee, Meijer, and Mom’s Organic Market.

I’m eating as many as I can while they’re in season, and I suggest you do the same!

I tried Happi pears from a grocery store this year. I did not think that the taste firm was that impressive, but it wasn’t bad (texture was alright but flavor was not very strong). I thought they tasted good both semi soft and fully soft. Mine had a good level of sweetness when fully ripened. My wife picked up on a strong floral flavor that she did not like but for me it was not an issue and I enjoyed them. I will note that we both like fully ripened Bartlett pears, so maybe there is an extra flavor that will appeal to some people and not others. Overall, I’d say they are worth trying if people are curious.
