| The Fuyu and the Pomegranate |
Fuyus are great in salads, and when combined with spring mix and a handful of jewel-like pomegranate seeds, you can almost forget who their relatives are.

The Fuyu
It's always been my opinion that the persimmon didn't have much going for it. And then I met a Fuyu at the Richmond Market down on Geary.
The Fuyu is a cousin of the Hachiya persimmon, the astringent variety that grows in Kentucky back yards and tastes like you've bitten into a Brillo Pad. The Fuyu and Hachiya are roughly the same size and the same glorious muted sunshine color. But there the resemblance ends. The Fuyu is firm, slices like an apple, and is light, crisp, and sweet.
Fuyus are great in salads, and when combined with spring mix and a handful of jewel-like pomegranate seeds, you can almost forget who their relatives are.
