Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for Asian (Chinese and Japanese) pears. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Asian pears lose water readily and shrivel, so high humidity must be maintained in storage. Highest freezing point: -1.5°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
