Fuyu Kaki: How does it feel, look, smell, etc, when it ripe enough to eat as is/cook?

The best way to store them is to freeze or refrigerate. My preference is to freeze. It’s just like enjoying them after a frost. Ohhhhh…one of my favorites of all time.

Please, no pesticides.

Fuyu persimmons, unlike Hachiyas, don’t need to be mushy to be edible. They can be eaten like an apple. They have a long period of edibility; they keep for at least a few weeks, They do eventually do get mushy and can be used like Hachiya persimmons then. They make great dried fruit!

Thank you both.
@MissA “Please, no pesticides”, does that mean they do withstand pesticides or no? or you don’t want pesticides?
@crisw I have no knowledge of Hachiyas. Are they both supposed to be good for you? For what purpose? I know most of the deep colored veggies and fruits are.

Hachiyas are the more common type of persimmon in most areas. They are inedible until very ripe. Here is a link with some info on both kinds of persimmons.
