🍊🌿 PERSIMMONS… HAVE YOU TRIED ONE YET?! 🌿🍊
We have both varieties available Fresh for you at the Parker Farms Home Stand! 🚜🧡
If you’ve never eaten a persimmon, you’re missing out on one of fall’s sweetest little treasures!
Persimmons are beautiful orange fruits with a naturally sweet, honey-like flavor. Some people describe their taste as a delicious combination of honey, apricots, and peaches! 🍑🍯
Here are a few ways to enjoy your fresh persimmons!
🥧 LET’S GET COOKING!
👩🍳 Persimmon Bread or Muffins: Use soft, ripe persimmon pulp in your favorite spiced quick-bread recipe. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans!
🥞 Persimmon Pancakes: Stir ripe persimmon pulp into pancake batter for a naturally sweet fall breakfast.
🍯 Warm Cinnamon Persimmons: Slice firm, sweet persimmons, sprinkle with cinnamon, drizzle with honey, and roast at 375°F until tender, about 15–20 minutes.
🍪 Persimmon Cookies: Soft, ripe persimmons make wonderful old-fashioned spiced cookies!
🌟 HERE’S SOMETHING IMPORTANT!
Not all persimmons are eaten at the same stage of ripeness!
🧡 Fuyu-type persimmons can be enjoyed firm and crunchy, almost like an apple. These are the tomato shaped variety.
🧡 Hachiya and other astringent varieties need to become very soft and jelly-like before eating, or they can leave your mouth feeling extremely dry and puckered! These are the heart shaped varieties.
🚜 FRESH FROM PARKER FARMS!
We have beautiful, farm-fresh persimmons ready for you to try!
💬 TELL US: Have you ever eaten a persimmon? Do you enjoy them fresh, baked into something delicious, or have you never tried one?
We’d LOVE to hear your favorite way to enjoy them! 🧡
