On the outside, Fuyu Persimmons sort of resemble an orange tomato. Slice one in half and it even looks a bit like a seedless tomato. But the flavor profile is not tomato-like, at all. The thin, orange skin covers soft flesh that offers a non-acidic, smooth, and sweet flavor. Imagine a fragrant blend of mango and papaya flavors, with faint notes of apricot and cinnamon—and that’s the Fuyu! Fuyu Persimmons make a great snack—most people enjoy them when they are firm, or just beginning to soften a bit. Their honeyed, tropical taste is a nice match for creamy, salty, nutty cheeses, like 1,000 Day Aged Gouda, and crunchy, bitter greens, like those featured in our Veggies & Greens Kit. And their striking orange hue makes them pop on a Thanksgiving tablescape, surrounded by an array of TJ’s Plants & Flowers, too.
