- Persimon: The persimmon variety known as “Persimon” or “Kaki Sharoni” is usually available in Tenerife from the end of September and can be at its best ripe during October and November.
- “Brilliant Red” Persimmon: This variety of astringent persimmon is usually available in Tenerife from late September to early November.
Other varieties: In Tenerife, it is possible to find other varieties of persimmon that may have different seasonal periods. Some of these varieties may be available in limited quantities during persimmon season.
Please note that exact dates may vary slightly from year to year due to specific weather and agricultural conditions.
Selection tips
Selecting good quality persimmons is important to enjoy their optimal flavor and texture. Here are some tips for selecting fresh, ripe persimmons:
- Color: Look for khakis that have a bright, uniform color. Depending on the variety, they can be orange, yellow or deep red when ripe. Avoid persimmons with green or brown spots, as these may indicate they are unripe or damaged.
- Texture: They should feel firm but not hard to the touch. Ripe persimmons should give slightly when you gently press them. If they are very hard, they are probably not ripe yet and may be astringent when eaten.
- Skin: The skin of the persimmon should be intact and without excessive wrinkles. Some varieties may have rougher skin than others, but it should not be cracked or show signs of deterioration.
- Stem: The stem end of the persimmon should be intact and undamaged. A damaged or missing stem may indicate a persimmon that has been handled or stored improperly.
- Weight: Ripe persimmons are usually heavier in relation to their size. If a persimmon feels light for its size, it may not be ripe.
- Aroma: Although the aroma of persimmon is not as pronounced as that of some other fruits, you can bring it up to your nose and smell it lightly. It should have a sweet and soft aroma.
Conservation
To properly store persimmons and prolong their freshness, follow these tips:
- Store ripe persimmons at room temperature.
- Avoid humidity and direct sunlight.
- You can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life.
- Freeze peeled and seeded persimmons for long-term preservation.
- Check them regularly and consume them before they deteriorate.
- Use ripe persimmons quickly to avoid wasting them.

These Persimmons are super sweet, one of the best I've ever tried; I don't know if it's because they are organic or why, but they have a very special flavor.
