Fuyu Persimmons
Fuyu persimmons are not as popular in the United States as they are in Japan, although they are native to both places. Diospyros kaki are a nonastringent fruit rich in Vitamin C, are orange in color and resemble a flattened apple. An exceedingly firm texture indicates that they are not yet ripe and could have a particularly bitter taste. They are sweet when ripe and are best eaten raw, although I enjoy halving them, broiling them briefly with brown sugar to create a brulee topping, and then eating the pulp out with a spoon.
