Persimmon Varieties

About

Persimmons (also known as persimmon kaki fruit, kaki persimmon, or persimmon fruta in different parts of the world) sit somewhere between an apple, a date, and a ripe peach in flavor, depending on which variety you're holding. Most U.S. shoppers know the Fuyu persimmon, the squat orange variety that eats firm like an apple and accounts for roughly 80% of the domestic market. The Hachiya is the acorn-shaped sister, astringent and bitter until fully ripe, then soft and honey-sweet. Sharon fruit comes from Israel and stays sweet through every stage. Lesser-known international varieties include the Fuji persimmon. Our Maru Chocolate persimmons are the rare one most people have never tried. Each variety ships in its own single-variety box, sourced through our network of family farms with free U.S. shipping on every order. Why Choose Persimmon Fruit Varieties from Tropical Fruit Box?
