Persimmon - Varieties
Fuyu (Non-astringent)
Fuyu persimmons are known for their squat, tomato-like shape and bright orange color when ripe. They have a smooth, crisp texture when not fully ripe, transitioning to a soft and creamy texture when ripe. Their flavor is sweet and slightly honeyed.
Jiro (Non-astringent)
Jiro persimmons are small, round, and vibrant orange. They have thin skin and a crisp, apple-like texture, even when fully ripe. Their flavor is sweet with a hint of tartness.
Hachiya (Astringent)
Hachiya persimmons are acorn-shaped and bright orange. They're astringent and inedible when unripe, but they're sweet and rich when fully ripe and soft.
Tamopan (Astringent)
Tamopan persimmons are known for their flattened round shape and deep orange color. Like Hachiya persimmons, they require full ripeness to lose their astringency and develop a rich, sweet flavor.
