Tempting Autumn Trendsetter

Persimons are an exotic fruit recognisable by their uniform golden yellow or orange colour. The persimon is a flavoursome variety of the traditional Classic persimon and is grown in Spain by a specially developed method. This gives it a firmer texture and it keeps for longer than other varieties. When persimons are fully ripe, the taste of the exquisite, refreshingly sweet, stone-free flesh resembles that of mangoes and peaches.

These qualities have made Spanish persimons an increasingly popular autumn trendsetter. Moreover persimons are nutritious, have a high vitamin A and C content and, thanks to their high glucose levels, are a fantastic source of energy.
