About Persimmons, japanese, dried
The Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki), sometimes simply called kaki, is a sweet, honeyed autumn fruit that looks like a glossy orange tomato and comes in two important types. Astringent Hachiya persimmons are packed with tannins and must be eaten fully soft and jelly-like, since they are mouth-puckeringly tart until completely ripe, while squat, sweet Fuyu persimmons lose their astringency early and can be eaten firm and crisp like an apple.
Persimmons are rich in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and antioxidants for modest calories. They are enjoyed fresh, sliced into salads, baked into puddings, cookies, and quick breads, or dried into chewy treats, including the prized Japanese hoshigaki, hand-massaged dried persimmons. Ripe Hachiyas, with their custard-like flesh, are especially wonderful spooned into batters for baking. Choose Fuyus that are firm and unblemished, and Hachiyas you can ripen on the counter until they feel very soft, almost like a water balloon.
Once fully ripe, store persimmons in the refrigerator to slow them down.
