Kaki Persimmon (Medium, 3pcs)
$15.00
The persimmon tree, caqui or kaki in Spanish, has been grown in parts of Valencia and Andalusia since the 17th century. The prevalent variety in Spain, Rojo Brillante, emerged spontaneously in the 1950s.
In spite of the name–Rojo Brillante means “bright red,” they are orange in color. These are ready-to-eat without further ripening (they have been processed to remove astringency). They are sweet and not quite as crisp as an apple, more like the texture of good melon, and softer to a gelatinous mush when fully ripe.
