• Persimmons are at their best when crisp and crunchy like an apple
  • Choose sweet persimmons that are free from bruises, firm and still have green, semi-pliable caps
  • The fruit can range in colour from a pale orange to a deep red-orange, depending upon variety and stage of the season

  • Despite being firm to the touch, handle persimmons with care as the thin skin is delicate and bruises easily
  • Surface blemishes are fine and do not affect the flavour and eating quality
