Berry
Persimmons are typically at their best in Queensland during the autumn months, with peak availability around March to May.
Persimmons are grown in several regions across Australia that offer the right balance of warm and cool climate conditions. This includes parts of Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, where they are cultivated for their unique flavour and texture.
Persimmons have gained popularity in Australia for their sweet, honey-like flavour and smooth texture. They are divided into two main types: astringent and non-astringent, with the latter being more popular due to its readiness to eat when still firm. The demand for persimmons has been growing, especially among consumers exploring exotic and diverse fruit varieties.
In Australia, persimmons are primarily enjoyed fresh, often eaten as a snack or added to fruit salads for a sweet, vibrant addition. They are also used in desserts, where their natural sweetness enhances cakes, puddings, and compotes. Persimmons can be used in savoury dishes as well, adding a unique flavour to salads and Asian-inspired recipes. In addition to their culinary uses, they are often appreciated for their ornamental value, adding a touch of autumn colour to Australian homes.
