Here’s your quick guide. For a firm Fuyu, fridge is fine. For a soft Fuyu, fridge to keep it soft. For a hard Hachiya, counter only. For a jelly-soft Hachiya, fridge immediately.
Don’t overthink it. If you’re unsure, just leave it on the counter and check it daily. The persimmon will tell you what it wants. It’s a fruit with a strong opinion, and that’s what makes it so fun.
So, go ahead. Touch your persimmon. Does it feel like a firm apple or a squishy tomato? Now you know exactly what to do. Happy snacking, friend!
