Persimmons
Greece
Organic
Available for pre-order from: Autumn
Fresh Jiro persimmons from Greece. This variety is originally from Japan. The fruits are firm when harvested and will continue to ripen, though they still taste good before softening. You can eat them like apples, including the skin. These are not to be confused with soft persimmons, which are only edible when fully ripe.
