Hachiya and Fuyu Persimmons
October 19, 2009| By Roberta Schwartz Wennik, MS, RDN
When selecting Hachiya persimmons, look for ones that are deep red-orange and very, very soft when ripe.
On the other hand, Fuyu persimmons don’t have to be soft to be eaten. When firm, they’re ready to eat.
Persimmons are normally available from September to December. They’re a great choice because they are rich in vitamins A, C, B6, along with copper, lutein, and fiber.
