Fuyu persimmons are a real treat! They boast layers of flavor and are reminiscent of pears, dates, and brown sugar, with nuances of cinnamon. Their texture varies from crisp and succulent when young to tender and gelatinous as they mature. They’re great raw in a salad with blue cheese and pears or on top of crostini. They can also be baked into breads or tarts.
