Granny Smith is a unique apple variety, with it’s green colour and slightly sour taste. Interestingly, this apple is very sun-shy.

Exterior: Pale green to slightly yellow.

Interior: Fine and smooth from the inside.

Experience: These firm apples have loads of juice, a balanced tangy flavour and just enough sweetness. The flavour enhances in storage.

Persimmon is just as highly nutritious, as it is delicious. It is thus not a surprise that the Greeks called this 'the fruit of the Gods'.

Exterior: Bright orange glossy skin distinguished by their flat bottoms and squat shape.

Interior: Bright orange flesh which can be eaten at any stage of ripeness, whether firm or soft.

Experience: Firm, crispy and delicately sweet when not fully ripe and darker, jelly-like and amazingly sweet when fully ripe.

storage of Granny Smith

Store unwashed apples in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
To store an entire box of apples, keep the box in a cool, dark place. Wrapping each apple in paper will provide additional protection and delay ripening.
Loose apples will last 6-8 weeks if refrigerated.

storage of Persimmon

You can buy the fuyu soft and ripe and eat right away, or buy them hard for later use.
The fuyus will ripen on their own at room temperature over several days.
They are generally speaking not a fast-ripening fruit like strawberries or bananas. Hence, an unripe bunch can last weeks.
However, once ripe, they do not keep well and thus should be eaten quickly.
Refrigeration is not necessary and may ruin the fruit.

Apple Granny Smith starts ripening by mid-October and finishes by the end of November. Persimmon ripens by mid-October and lasts till mid-November
