Sharon Fruit
A tier
Sharon Fruit is the trade name for Israeli-treated non-astringent persimmons—typically Triumph cultivar fruit that undergoes a process to remove astringency so it can be eaten firm. Square-ish orange fruit with a clean sweet flavour and convenient out-of-hand eating made the brand famous in European and other markets. Labelling often says Sharon Fruit more than the underlying clone. Snack firm like an apple, dice into salads, or roast. The brand promise is no pucker at firm texture—still avoid green underripe fruit. Widely available in winter import windows.
