California Hachiya Persimmons Organic (5 lbs)

A Central California native, I have such fond memories of baking "all things persimmon" every fall with my grandmother and great grandmother, and then for many years beyond that with my own children and grandchildren. When my hubby and I moved to the east coast in 2015, I was so disappointed, that come fall, I searched high and low, but could not find persimmons anywhere. In fact, my mother-in-law, had never even heard of, let alone seen one. For 9 years I have mourned my loss of fall persimmons, so I was so excited to find them of all places, on Amazon! Not even thinking twice, (and regardless of the fact that I was paying a pretty price for what I had for so many years plucked from trees in my own yard), I ordered a 5 pound box and kept my fingers crossed.I am delighted to say that my persimmons arrived a couple hours ago, and I have been doing the happy dance ever since. There were nine little orange beauties in a carefully packed box, all without a single blemish or flaw! Now they are all nestled nicely into brown paper bags to finish ripening before they are baked into recipes passed down through my family for generations. This Thanksgiving one of our many blessings will include my great grandmother's (steamed) persimmon pudding.If need persimmons and cannot find them anywhere, I would absolutely recommend this supplier for the quality of their fruit as well as the speed in which they arrived at my doorstep. Many, many happy thanks to them!

Unable to eat to this date. Each one rotting one by one without getting softer. Contacted seller. Never got a response.

These persimmons were really nice in color and big! I will definitely order from here next season.

Beautiful persimmons received, Great shipping, lovely color: HUGE PERSIMMON SECRET!! you dont have to wait forever, put persimmons in freezer 48 hours or longer, when you thaw ( or warm it in water) you will have a perfect supersoft persimmon without waiting for weeks. If you EVER want to serve lots of people persimmons this is the only way, and once they are frozen you can keep them frozen solid till you want them! any time of year! ( forever then have whenever you want without waiting!) then if see a big persimmon sale STOCK UP, if you love them like i do!!

I absolutely love persimmons. I ordered it twice, even though I was surprised I was paying almost $10 a piece. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to enjoy but a half of the fruits. They arrived very bruised and damaged. They were packaged that way. Almost $60 for six fruits is way too much money to not be able to enjoy all of them. I wrote them a heard nothing at all.

I was sent 8 large persimmons and they had large black spots that I understand is from sunlight. The black spots did not have any bad affect on the persimmons. They ripened in a short time, and they were very good. The last to ripen did so unevenly, so I experienced some pucker affect from a few. I will order next year later in the season but before the price goes up; the last time I looked it was $53. The price when I ordered was $36.

The Hachiya persimmon is usually extremely juicy and sweet once it is ripe; I received this batch from California on Nov. 3rd. It is now more than 2 weeks later, and they are now rotten, but the once that were salvaged, are still very bitter. I am not sure if they were picked too soon or just not a good batch. Will likely not be ordering again.

I love hachiya persimmons. I make a bread out of it for Christmas. When I lived in california we had a hachiya and fuyu tree. Italian family christmas has always had persimmon bread.I have missed it since we moved. I got only 9 pieces of fruit in my order. I wish it was more. I saw some got as many as 12. They were not ripe enough yet so I put them in brown bags on the counter. They got nice and ripe and I scooped out the pulp to bag for the freezer for my bread at Christmas. I may have to make a loaf now as I miss it so much.
