HOW TO EAT A FUYU PERSIMMON

Ripe Fuyu persimmons are bright orange and don't always feel soft. Colour is a better measure of ripeness; leave unripe persimmons at room temperature to ripen. Unlike Hachiya persimmons, Fuyus have less tannins and can be eaten skin-on or peeled.

NOTES:

1. I seldom - if ever - season fruits that I eat raw.

2. I rarely cook fruits unless I'm baking with them.
