Sharon Persimmon

Sharon Persimmons, also known as Fuyu variety, are short and robust, with a tomato-like form. They can be eaten whole or cut into wedges without the crown when completely mature. They have a richer flavour and texture that is more akin to pumpkin, with cinnamon and nutmeg overtones that are evocative of spiced, caramel jam.

STORAGE

We recommend storing unripe persimmons on the counter until they reach the desired level of ripeness. Once they are ripe, place them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life. A ripe persimmon, like a ripe tomato, will give slightly when pressed.

FUN FACTS & TIPS

In some cultures, persimmons are considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity. They are often given as gifts during the holiday season.
