Fuyu Persimmons Specialty Box Tropical Fruit Box

from $59.00

In Greece, they are called the divine fruit, it’s the national fruit of Japan and in the U.S. this variety is about 80% of the market. We don’t know what you guys think but the Fuyu Persimmon has something going for it. Their taste is a mixture of a rich, honey-like mild flavor that’s like nothing you’ve ever had before, unless of course… you’ve eaten persimmons :) They have fiber and vitamins that we are not going to mention because Facebook keeps blocking our listings saying that we are selling medical devices so, there...have you heard the phrase food as medicine? You get it then. Thank you Meta for making our jobs harder and thank you for considering shopping for some delicious Fuyu persimmons that will be delivered right to your door thanks to the modern magic of internet and shipping.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

What persimmon varieties come in this box?

This collection includes five distinct varieties: Fuyu, Hachiya, Maru Chocolate, Spanish Kaki, and Sharon Fruit. Each one offers a different flavor and texture, from crisp and snackable to soft and pudding-like.

What is the difference between Fuyu and Hachiya persimmons?

Fuyu persimmons are flat-bottomed, non-astringent, and can be eaten firm like an apple. Hachiya persimmons are acorn-shaped, astringent, and must be completely soft before eating. If you bite into an unripe Hachiya, it will have a dry, chalky mouthfeel.

What is a Maru Chocolate persimmon?

Maru Chocolate is a Japanese variety with brown-speckled flesh that looks and tastes like it has been dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar. It is non-astringent when the flesh is fully brown, meaning you can eat it while still firm.

Are persimmon gift baskets good for gifting?

Absolutely. The variety in this box is what makes it special. Most people have never tried five different persimmon types side by side, so it works as a unique, memorable gift for food lovers, fruit enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates something out of the ordinary.

How do I know when each variety is ready to eat?

Fuyu, Maru Chocolate, Spanish Kaki, and Sharon Fruit can all be eaten firm or left to soften based on your preference. Hachiya is the exception. Wait until it feels completely soft, almost like a water balloon, before eating. If it still feels firm, leave it on your counter for a few more days.

Do you ship persimmon gift boxes nationwide?

Yes. Every persimmon gift box ships free to addresses across the continental U.S. We pack each box carefully to make sure the fruit arrives in perfect condition, ready to eat or ripen on your counter.
