How to store
A kaki fruit ripens best at room temperature. If you want to keep the persimmons a little longer, it is best to put them in the fridge.
How to eat
Wait until the kaki fruit is nicely coloured orange, then it is ripe. You can use the persimmon as an addition to salads or make a fantastic chutney. You can of course also eat them out of hand.
