Serving Suggestion
Persimmons can be eaten fresh, sliced, or diced. They can also be added to salads, smoothies, or baked goods.
Ripeness Guide
Persimmons are ripe when they are soft to the touch and have a slight give when gently pressed. The flesh should be a deep orange color and have a sweet, almost honey-like flavor. If the persimmon is too firm, it will be astringent and unpleasant to eat.
