Persimmons are collected on the ground after a good frost for a completely ripe and ready to eat fruit. A true American Persimmon is an absolutely stunning flavor that is rich, deep, sweet and complex. A perfectly ripe Persimmon from a quality tree can have a taste like caramel with hints of tangerine and heavy cream with a texture like a dense, rich custard. Product has been frozen and will arrive in a frozen to semi-frozen state.
