Dried Persimmons, No Sugar Added, 12 oz, Pack of 2

Perfect way to enjoy Hachiya persimmons. Healthy, sweet with a soft chewy texture. Best dried fruit choice for flavor and nutrition. Great on the go snack for kids and adults.

I have fairly recently renewed my relationship with persimmons. I would see them growing wild as a child and it was a treat to find a ripe one before the deer got to them. Found some sold at a local market and remembered how much I enjoyed them. They are seasonal however and I can only find them fresh in the Nov-Dec timeframe. I came across Fruit for Thought when I did a search to see if dried persimmons were offered online. What a great snack! I can’t recommend them enough! They are mildly sweet and very flavorful and if you enjoy fresh persimmons you will not be disappointed with this product. The slices of fruit in each bag are of varying size but they are all of very good quality. I have probably gone through six or eight bags of these over the last year. Guess it’s ok however since they are a pretty healthy snack. Anyway, as I said earlier, I really can’t recommend Fruit for Thought dried Hachiya Persimmons enough! They’re delicious right out of the bag.

If you like persimmons, get these. So good! At first touch I was reluctant to eat it because it feels really hard but it’s not. You still have to bite but not hard. It’s also not extremely chewy either, which I really like. You can still taste the persimmon too. Even if you don’t like persimmons give it’s try. The only ingredient is persimmon. No added sugars, no sodium, no fat. A very healthy snack! Also if you are expecting dried persimmons that you find in Asian stores, this is not it. It’s cut thin so not meaty but it still is very good.

I ordered two packs of these and was pleasantly surprised with the taste. The first pack was a bit hard to eat due to the rough texture, but the second was softer on my teeth. I think this was because I had left the second pack in a warmer area. Maybe if you microwaved these for a few seconds, they would be easier to eat (?). Still, for something that I have to order online and is hard to find locally, I was pretty satisfied!

I accidentally ordered two 2-packs and was mad at myself at first. But then I tried the dried slices of persimmon and became happy I bought so much! I don't like very sweet things and these are just the right amount of sweetness. The remind me a bit of dried jackfruit, but with more flavor, reminiscent of Juicyfruit gum. The texture of the pack I opened is perfect, with a firm dense texture, not overly dry or tough at all.

I ordered the dried persimmons because I use the Mirai Persimmon soap to brutalize body odor, and thought, "maybe it would work from the inside out, too?" The dried persimmons are nice-sized slices, not overly chewy, but flavor is not a sweet persimmon flavor. They are made without sweeteners, but I'd have thought some of the fruit flavor would come through. I haven't tried yet, but maybe a drizzle of honey would make more palatable, or maybe chopped up in a trail mix. My sister told me about the Mirai Persimmon soap, so I sent her some of the dried fruit also. She feels the same way about the flavor. Needs some sweetness

The dried persimmons are great! Pure persimmon flavor shines through without all the sugar so often added to dried fruit. The chewy texture is just right, not dried out and hard, but a satisfying chew. Highly recommend.

I bought these dried persimmons out of curiosity. I have been reading of health benefits of various fruits and hadn't tried (or been able to find) persimmons, which are touted to have many great benefits. I don't know what a fresh persimmon tastes like, but these are YUMMY! My husband was skeptical, but after trying one, I had to stop him from eating the whole bag! - To the seller, you have a great product here and I wish you great success! You have me as a new customer.
