What on earth is a Fuyu persimmon, and what do I do with it?
What it is: The word persimmon comes from ancient Greek words meaning “divine fruit” or “God’s pear”. This week’s persimmons are Fuyu persimmons, so they will have a squat, round shape and light orangey, pumpkin colored skin.
How it tastes: Fuyu persimmons have a candy sweetness with notes of brown sugar and baking spices, and will have a texture that’s crisp like an apple when firm, becoming smooth and custardy when allowed to soften for a few days.
Health benefits: Persimmons are packed with lots of nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber, making them good for heart health, brain health, and vision!
Storage tips: Persimmons are best stored at room temperature. Fuyu persimmons can be eaten firm. They will soften to a custardy texture over the course of a few days on the counter and can be eaten that way as well.
How to eat: Persimmons can be eaten raw. Eat whole or in slices like an apple (you can eat the skin!), or cut in half and spoon out the flesh. It can also be paired with cheeses or baked into tarts & pies. Or check out the recipes section for more ideas!
