Slice up these golden fruits. Thin skinned. But rich and delicious once ripe.
What makes my special?
- The perfect dessert fruit, persimmons are rich and delicious, with a satiny texture
- These golden fruits aren’t artificially ‘purged’ like the supermarket varieties. So you might find them more acidic than conventional persimmons
- We pack these stunning fruits underripe, to make sure they travel well. So make sure you let them ripen before you take a bite. They’re at their best when really soft and almost jelly-like – so let them sit until they’re ready
- Country of Origin – Spain
- Class – Minimum Class 2

The shiny, tomato-shaped fruit have a sweet apricot taste. Wait until they're very ripe otherwise you may find them too astringent – wash and bite into like an apple, or slice the top off and scoop out the flesh. The fruit also makes a delicious addition to stews, cakes, creamy puddings and it can even be made into jam. Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
