Japanese Persimmon

Hachiya persimmons, also referred to as heart-shaped persimmons, are at their best when completely ripe. It's advisable to let them soften and become tender, as the tannins that lend the unripe fruit a dry taste will have dissipated. Once fully ripe, Hachiya persimmons will delight your taste buds with a luscious sweetness.

STORAGE

Persimmons, both ripe and unripe, may be stored in the refrigerator without washing. Unripe persimmons will mature slowly in the fridge, while ripe persimmons should be eaten within two days. The refrigerator will help to extend the shelf life of the fruit.

When picking these premium persimmon fruit, we aim for persimmons that are substantial for their size, have a glossy appearance, and have no damage or bruising.
