Fuyu's are crunchy like an apple. You can eat these whole (skin and all) , chopped up in a salad, baked and dried. I saw a recipe for baked persimmons using Fuyu's and decided to try it.
I used this recipe from Color Me Vegan. The cinnamon was a wonderful addition. I sliced these really thin and kept the "design" of the fruit while doing so. These turned out moist and flavorful. I didn't have yogurt on the side as I couldn't take the time to get the yogurt. I just wanted to inhale them when they came out of the oven. I shared a few with co-workers who loved them. This time it was hard to share as I loved them so.
Look at the gorgeous color |

I love them and just tend to eat them whole or I put them in a smoothie. I've never seen crunchy ones in the UK.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I have never had this fruit! I should rectify that this season
ReplyDeleteThey look beautiful! I don't think I've ever tried a persimmon so I'll try to find some soon ;)
ReplyDelete@ Tea and Sympatico I had only used the soft ones before. The crunchy version are newer to my world but boy are they good.
ReplyDelete@Mandee & Sarah If you try some let me know what you think
