Maru Chocolate Persimmon Box

from $79.00 $87.00

The Maru Chocolate Persimmon is by far the most exclusive Persimmon variety loved by connoisseurs and those lucky enough to have tasted it. Warning: This persimmon has been known to cause obsession. The skin color is deeper than the traditional Fuyu variety and they are just plain delicious with just enough sweetness but not overwhelming. They are also super juicy and have a nice finish with spice notes. Where does the chocolate reference come from? No, it’s not the chocolatey taste, it’s because the flesh turns brown when they ripen. People think that when the fruit turns brown it’s bad and it applies to most other fruit but not to this very special persimmon, so use this opportunity to broaden your horizons and taste something truly unique. That’s if you are lucky enough to catch them as they are probably going to be selling pretty quickly and their season is also very short!

Spanish Kaki Premium Persimmons

from $89.00

Spanish Persimmons? Aren’t persimmons supposed to be Japanese? Here is a little-known fact; Spain is the largest exporter of Persimmons in the world! How come? The mild climate and fertile soils of the Ribera del Xúcar region in Valencia along the bank of the river produces some of the most coveted persimmons in the world.The Spanish Kakis are delicate, and this variety the Rojo Brillante is unusually sweet, plump and the flesh is nice and firm with very little astringency, in other words, as good as it gets. The Spanish are so proud of them that they export them all over Europe and we got lucky enough to get our very own batch flown first class directly to us. It’s hard to tell in the picture but these things are huge!

Hachiya Persimmon Box

from $87.00

Hachiya Persimmons are here! We finally got them! We've been chasing these beauties for a while and we are here to tell you that we finally found a sustainable source. We can't keep our eyes off the beautiful golden orange color but that's not all, the fragrance and the flavor with a delicate sweet flavor with notes of mango, honey and apricot.

Persimmons (also known as persimmon kaki fruit, kaki persimmon, or persimmon fruta in different parts of the world) sit somewhere between an apple, a date, and a ripe peach in flavor, depending on which variety you're holding. Most U.S. shoppers know the Fuyu persimmon, the squat orange variety that eats firm like an apple and accounts for roughly 80% of the domestic market.

The Hachiya is the acorn-shaped sister, astringent and bitter until fully ripe, then soft and honey-sweet. Sharon fruit comes from Israel and stays sweet through every stage. Lesser-known international varieties include the Fuji persimmon. Our Maru Chocolate persimmons are the rare one most people have never tried. Each variety ships in its own single-variety box, sourced through our network of family farms with free U.S. shipping on every order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Fuyu and Hachiya persimmons?

Fuyu persimmons are squat, orange, and non-astringent, meaning you can eat them firm like an apple. Hachiya persimmons are acorn-shaped, astringent when unripe, and need to soften completely before eating to avoid the chalky tannin sensation.

How do you tell when a persimmon is ripe?

A ripe Fuyu stays slightly firm with deep orange skin and edible peel. A Hachiya is ready when the skin is translucent and the fruit feels close to bursting, similar in texture to a water balloon. Sharon fruit and Maru Chocolate ripen somewhere in between.

Can you eat persimmon skin?

Yes, the skin on Fuyu and Sharon fruit is thin enough to eat straight after a quick rinse. Hachiya skin is technically edible but most people scoop the soft flesh out with a spoon when fully ripe. Maru Chocolate also has tender, edible skin.

How long do persimmons last after delivery?

Firm Fuyu and Sharon persimmons keep for two to three weeks at room temperature or up to two months refrigerated. Ripe Hachiyas should be eaten within a few days of softening, or refrigerated short-term. The Arrive Fresh Guarantee covers every box.

When are persimmons in season?

Persimmons are a fall and early winter fruit, typically harvested between October and December in the Northern Hemisphere. Sharon fruit ships from Israel through a slightly extended window. Outside peak season, individual varieties may be unavailable; subscribe for stock alerts on the product page.

Are persimmons good for you?

Persimmons are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, and manganese, with antioxidant compounds that support digestive and immune health. Different varieties carry slightly different nutrient profiles, but all four persimmons in this collection make a strong addition to a fall and winter eating rotation.
