🍽 How to Eat Persimmons Correctly for the Best Benefit
Persimmons must be eaten the right way to enjoy their full flavor and avoid unpleasant bitterness.
✔ If you have a Fuyu persimmon:
Eat it while it’s still firm, like an apple. Slice it into wedges, chop it into salads, or enjoy it whole.
✔ If you have a Hachiya persimmon:
This variety must be fully soft and jelly-like before eating. When unripe, it contains tannins that cause a chalky, dry mouthfeel.
✔ Use them in these delicious ways:
Blend into smoothies
Add to oatmeal or yogurt
Dice into autumn salads
Bake into muffins or quick breads
Freeze the pulp to use later in desserts
