Our Persimmons are fully organically grown on the east coast, without any sprays or harmful chemicals!

Astringent persimmons, are known for their high tannin content, which makes them taste bitter and puckery when unripe. However, once they ripen to a soft, jelly-like texture, they transform into a luscious, sweet treat with rich flavors reminiscent of honey, dates, and spices. Their deep orange, acorn-like shape is distinctive, and they’re best enjoyed in puddings, baked goods, or spooned straight from the skin when fully ripe. Astringent persimmons are a favorite among those who appreciate their unique, intensely sweet flavor once they've reached perfect ripeness.

Store in the refrigerator if you would like to extend the shelf life, otherwise leave out in room temperature for the fruit to fully ripen!

Eaten Fresh: When fully ripe, the flesh becomes soft and jelly-like. Simply cut off the top and scoop out the sweet pulp with a spoon for a delicious treat.

Baking and Desserts: Ripe persimmon pulp adds a natural sweetness and moist texture to baked goods. Use it in cakes, muffins, quick breads, and cookies, or try a classic persimmon pudding or persimmon bread.

Smoothies: Blend the soft, ripe flesh with yogurt, milk, or other fruits for a creamy, sweet smoothie with a unique flavor.

Jams and Sauces: Astringent persimmons can be cooked down into jams, preserves, or sauces, which are excellent toppings for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Frozen Treats: For a refreshing snack, freeze ripe persimmons until firm, then enjoy them like sorbet straight from the skin.

Make sure they’re fully soft before eating or using them in recipes, as this removes the astringent, bitter taste!
