Fuyu persimmons are a variety of persimmon that is sweet and ready to eat when they're hard, in the same way an apple is. It's okay to wait until fuyus get softer to eat them also, but people usually prefer them firm. The colder weather lately is starting to help soften some of the fuyus, so if you like them to be firm, try and come to the fruit stand soon. We have lots of fuyu persimmons picked now, and are selling them by the pound and at a discount for a flat or box.
