Fresh Fuyu persimmons, a popular Japanese variety known for their sweet, honey-like flavor and crisp, apple-like texture when firm. Unlike Hachiya persimmons, Fuyu persimmons can be eaten while still firm and do not have astringent tannins. These versatile fruits are excellent eaten fresh, sliced into salads, or added to baked goods. The bright orange skin is edible and the fruit has a mildly sweet taste with notes of cinnamon and brown sugar.

Each 3-pound package contains approximately 6-8 medium-sized persimmons. Fuyu persimmons are in season from October through December, making them a popular fall and early winter fruit. They are best stored at room temperature until ripe, then can be refrigerated for up to a week.
