Fuyu Persimmons

Store unripe persimmons at room temperature to ripen. Once ripe, refrigerate for longer storage. Avoid bruising.

Fuyu persimmons can be eaten with the skin on, just like an apple. Wash them well first.

Slice them into wedges or dice them to add to salads, yogurt, or oatmeal.

They caramelize beautifully when baked or sautéed, making them a great addition to desserts or savory dishes.
