Organic Cinnamon Persimmons

Cinnamon Persimmons are also known as "Hyakume" or "Howard's Amagaki". This so-called 'cinnamon' variety is named for the sweet flesh and dark speckling inside, reminiscent of cinnamon. Prized throughout Asia as a 'goma' or dark-fleshed variety, they are often softened or cured in alcohol fumes. This curing means the cinnamon persimmon has very little tannin, which is often associated with regular persimmons. Cinnamon Persimmons are a great winter salad ingredient when accompanied by walnuts and pomegranate seeds. For a real taste treat, enjoy this sweeter variety of persimmon with a crisp, juicy flavor.
