Delight in the sweet flavors of the season
with Fuyu persimmons. This non-astringent variety can be
enjoyed while firm and delivers a honey-like taste that is both rich and mild.
Perfect for adding a festive crunch to salads or desserts like tarts and
galettes, they also make a healthy and satisfying snack.
