When shopping for Asian Pears, how can you tell which one is sweet?

a sweet smell..

Because Asian pears ripen on the tree, they are ripe and ready to eat when you buy them. Best eaten cold and crisp, keep them refrigerated and humidified in a loosely closed plastic bag. Most varieties will keep as long as three months and some like 20th Century, as long as five, but they tend to acquire a wine-like flavor if kept too long.

Large fruits can be cut in half and refrigerated in plastic wrap. The flesh of Asian pears does not brown as readily as that of European pears. Some varieties develop internal discoloration, but this is caused by excess sugar, not oxidation. Though not attractive, it does not affect flavor
