No, we’re not sure we could eat them either.
Nevertheless, these Buddha-shaped ‘baby pears’ are hot stuff right not across Asia.
The baby pears, which are grown inside the mould of a laughing Buddha, are meant to bring good fortune.
They were first produced by Chinese farmer Gao Xianzhang in 2009, reports People’s Daily Online. He spent six years perfecting his cuddly pears. They’ve become popular in China over the last few years, with people often giving them as a gift to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
