A decadent autumnal treat, persimmons are sweet and rich in flavour, with a super-smooth texture.
Shaped like a tomato, but with a sweet honeyed taste, Persimmons have been grown in New Zealand since the late 1800s.
Persimmons are native to parts of Asia, with China producing a massive 43% of the world’s 4.6 million tonnes every year, where they are most commonly enjoyed as a dried fruit snack.
There are two different kinds of Persimmon - Hachiya (which are astringent persimmons), and Fuyu (which are sweet, non-astringent persimmons.)
Fuyu persimmons, such as the ones we provide, are shaped like a tomato and can be eaten before they are fully ripe. The Hachiya variant is shaped more like a large acorn and should only be consumed once it’s well and truly ripe, turning a deep orange colour. It’s said to be one of the most mouth-puckeringly bitter tastes imaginable. Consuming it unripe will make your mouth numb and your eyes water.
A fibre-rich fruit, persimmons are also high in vitamin C and A – with 30 times more vitamin A than an apple and more than any other fruit! They also provide a good dose of iron, and manganese, which are great for the skin.
Our persimmons are delicious simply peeled and eaten. But can be made into spiced persimmon bread, muffins, jams and more!
Approximately 5 persimmons per kg
Persimmons will keep for two to three weeks at room temperature – longer in the fridge.
Remember to keep them away from apples unless you want to accelerate ripening.
In Korean folklore, dried persimmon is said to scare away tigers!
The Latin name for the most commonly eaten persimmon is Diospyros kaki, literally translating to “fruit of the gods”.
