おすそ分けで大きな梨をふたついただきました。量ってみたら、ひとつが500g以上もありました。梨やりんごは欧米でも一般的な果物ですが、どちらも日本の品種のほうが大きくて甘い印象があります。とても美味しいけれど、残念ながら、栄養はそれほどないようです。
Japanese Food 19 –Pears
I was given a couple of huge pears. They weighed over 500g
(1.1lb) apiece. Pears and apples are common in the western countries as well,
but I have the impression that Japanese breeds are larger and sweeter for both fruits.
They are not so nutritious, unfortunately, while they are so tasty.
