FAQs about Hachiya persimmons
It can take up to two weeks for Hachiya persimmons to ripen. Their ripening period depends on how firm they were when you bought them. Rock-hard fruits will take longer to ripen than ones that are already softening.
There are shortcuts to speed up the ripening of these fruits. The most common trick is placing them in a container or a paper bag along with an apple. Apples produce ethylene gas that speeds up the ripening process. Be sure to keep the container or paper bag loosely closed and at room temperature to allow airflow. Check the fruits every two days to see if they are ripe. You will know that they are ready to eat when their flesh becomes completely squishy and soft. The inside of a Hachiya persimmon turns to jelly when it ripens. The flesh around the stem is the last part to ripen.
Hachiya persimmons can be eaten plain. Cut the fruit into two halves and dig the flesh out with a spoon. Its texture feels jelly-like and soft, and it tastes incredibly sweet. Frozen Hachiya persimmons are as tasty as sorbet, but they are healthier because they have no added sugar. Hachiya persimmons make a delicious, candy-like snack when dried. To dry the fruit, peel it while it's underripe, hang it, or place it in a food dehydrator until its texture becomes chewy.
