Twin Peaks Persimmons

Amagaki- This unique persimmon is sweet, crisp yet creamy, with hints of cinnamon and cocoa. Some will be golden fleshed with brown flecks while others can be dark, rich chocolaty brown. Amagakis are typically very astringent, but Twin Peaks has perfected a curing process that removes the astringency. Because of this method, Amagakis can not be baked or cooked. They are best used raw as additions to salads, sandwiches, pizza, or dessert dishes. 10# case only, item #50543

Fuyu- Squat, tomato shaped persimmons. They are crisp and crunchy when fresh and soften when allowed to sit and ripen. Fuyus contain very low tannins and can be eaten while completely firm without a dry or bitter taste. 10# case only, item #50542

Produce News

All head lettuces and leafy greens have been severely affected by heat damage. The Salinas Valley has recently recorded temperatures over 100 degrees, a high that is unprecedented in the area. Due to the lack of product on the market, there has been a steep increase in pricing. We are expecting relief when growing regions transition at the end of November.
