PRODUCT
OF THE WEEK
Cinnamon
Persimmons
Twin
Peaks Orchards is now supplying us with a particular variety
of persimmon that is truly an extraordinary piece of fruit.
The variety is known as Hyakume. As we noted in an earlier
Market outlook, there are two types of persimmons-astringent
and non-astringent. The Hachiya is the more widely known
astringent type, while the Fuyu is the more popular non-astringent
variety. Due to a high level of tannin, astringent persimmons
are naturally puckery' and may not be desirable for consumption
until they reach an advanced stage of maturity and become
soft and jelly-like. The Hyakume falls into the astringent
category, however-and this is a very important however-Twin
Peaks has perfected a curing process that removes the astringent
qualities from this persimmon leaving the Hyakume crisp,
sweet and unmatched in flavor. The fruit is now called Amagaki,
meaning sweet persimmon. The flesh of this persimmon is
marked with brown flecks that contribute both to the flavor
and to the marketing of this fruit as cinnamon persimmons.
The Amagaki persimmon is similar in size to the Hachiya,
has great shelf life and is perfect for eating out of hand,
salads and baking. We will be substituting Cinnamon Persimmons
for the Fuyu as long as they remain available.
