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.
