Sweet Persimmons

Korean Sweet Persimmons

Grown under abundant sunlight with a clear distinction between seasons and significant temperature differences between day and night, Korean sweet persimmons are naturally rich in sugars, making them an ideal fruit for satisfying the palates of people in Korea and around the world.

As a representative fruit of autumn, the season of harvest and abundance, Korean persimmons are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. They contribute to improving digestive health and boosting immunity, making them not only delicious but also highly nutritious.

K-Persimmon: Fuyu

The "Fuyu" variety of sweet persimmons develops a naturally rich sweetness as it ripens on the tree. Unlike other fruits that require post-harvest ripening, Fuyu can be enjoyed immediately after harvest, offering a crisp texture and pleasantly sweet flavor, much like apples.

Fuyu not only quench thirst but also aid in alcohol metabolism and promote a healthy digestive system. To make it better, they contribute to improving the functionality of the heart and lungs.

Renowned for their ability to prevent heart disease, persimmons are celebrated as one of the finest fruits. Rich in dietary fiber, they enhance digestive health while serving as an excellent source of vitamins A and C.

How to selecting the best persimmons
Color
Select persimmons with uniform and rich coloration. Ripe persimmons typically range in color from orange to deep red.
Firmness
A good-quality persimmon should feel relatively heavy for its size. Avoid overly soft or mushy persimmons, as they may be overripe.
Calyx (Stem Cap)
The calyx at the top of the persimmon should appear fresh and either green or light brown. If it looks dry or blackened, the fruit may be old or of lower quality.
Skin
Choose persimmons with smooth, glossy skin free from blemishes or damage. Avoid fruits with scratches, bruises, or other signs of injury.
How to Store Persimmons
At Room Temperature

Store unripe persimmons at room temperature to allow them to ripen gradually.

Place them in a bowl or basket to prevent bruising.

In the Refrigerator

Once ripe, keep persimmons in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness.

Store them in a perforated plastic bag or the crisper drawer to retain optimal humidity levels.

Separation

To avoid over-ripening,
keep persimmons away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas.

Ventilation

Ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.

Avoid sealing persimmons in airtight containers, as this can lead to spoilage.
