Every year farmers select the early pears according to their ripeness level. The fully ripe pears will be sold directly to the market, while the less ripe pears will all go to storage centers in other provinces. At the moment, the most commonly seen pear variety is Shuijing pear, which grows mostly in Hebei province. It is very juicy and sweet. Other fruit varieties, such as the fragrant pear and the early ripe pears, are also very popular in the market.
