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.

1. With a sharp pointed knife cut out the leaves at the top of the persimmon.
2. Slice the persimmon into half, then into wedges.
3. Remove the seeds before eating.

NOTES:
1. I seldom - if ever - season fruits that I eat raw.
2. I rarely cook fruits unless I'm baking with them.

  3. I was with the other persimmons that have to get really squishy before you eat them but was recently introduced to the Fuyu variety and am now enjoying both in their raw, unadulterated form. beautiful photos.
