Grower
Seasons/Availability
October
Description/Taste
Brightly colored, chocolate persimmons vary from small to medium in size. The flesh has an infusion of brown tones, reminiscent to chocolate. The flavor is slightly astringent until the fruit ripens.
Applications
"Chocolate" persimmons can be eaten hard like Fuyu types but are at their best when ripened when they become buttery and juicy.
Geography/History
Tsuru Noko persimmons belong to the obscure class of pollination-variant, non-astringent persimmons. Small quantities of alcohol exude from the seeds which cause tannins in the flesh to clump together and lower the astringency. This turns the pulp brown giving it its nickname "chocolate".
