Large Fuyu Persimmon

One of the more popular persimmons is Fuyu Persimmons, also known as Fuyugaki. They have a unique taste, somewhat resembling a combination of mango, peach, and plum with a hint of honey. These persimmons offer a sweet, honeyed richness that remains delicious even when they're firm.

STORAGE

Ripe persimmons can be kept at room temperature for 1 to 2 days and in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Unripe persimmons have a shelf life of approximately one week at room temperature and a month in the fridge. When ripe, whole or sliced persimmons can be frozen for up to 6 months, and puree can be preserved for a year.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

Looking for creative ways to incorporate persimmons into your diet? Try adding fresh persimmon to your salads, yogurt, or cereal for a burst of natural sweetness. You can also include the fruit in muffin, bread, or cake batter. Another delightful option is making natural persimmon ice cream with no added sugar by roasting it before freezing, enhancing the flavour and creating a velvety puree. Whichever method you choose to enjoy your delicious persimmons, make sure they're ripe first, as they won't ripen further after freezing.
