FAQs about Fuyu persimmons
Unlike other types of fruit, Fuyu persimmons keep well both on the counter and the refrigerator. You can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag on the counter. If you opt to place them in the refrigerator, they will keep for up to 14 days. Make sure you keep them away from ethylene-producing fruits such as apples, as the gas will cause the persimmons to ripen and spoil quicker. You can also place them in the freezer, where they will keep for up to three months.
Fuyu persimmons are an excellent choice for the holidays when many people are enjoying cookies and other holiday treats. The fruit is low in calories and offers many health benefits:
- Beta-carotene: This antioxidant can lower your risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
- Manganese: This mineral helps with the nervous system and brain function.
- Vitamin A: The fruit is extremely high in vitamin A, giving you more than half your recommended daily intake. This vitamin helps improve your eye health.
- Vitamin C: This vitamin helps you fight off infections and reduce heart disease and diabetes risks.
As the two most common types of persimmons, you might think they're very similar, but the opposite is true. You can enjoy Fuyu persimmons at various stages of ripeness, while Hachiya persimmons are astringent when unripe. This variety needs to be fully ripened to enjoy, and when you do, you can sink your teeth into a custard-like flesh. Plus, the two persimmons look vastly different as Fuyus are shaped more like a tomato, while the Hachiya resembles an acorn.
