The world is just more colorful when #PeakofSeason persimmons are here. Fuyu persimmons (the short, tomato shaped ones) have a sweet flavor that’s like a cross between mangos, papaya, and stone fruit. Crisp and succulent, they’ll soften, and get deliciously jammy, as they continue to ripen. Hachiya persimmons (the larger oval shaped ones) are best when soft, delicate, and dare we say squishy, resulting in a sweet, honeyed flavor with hints of brown sugar and cinnamon.
