What are persimmons?
There are two main types of Asian persimmons: Fuyu and Hachiya that can be found in North America.
Hachiya persimmons are oval-shaped and deep blood-orange in color. They taste the best when left to fully ripen until the interior is super soft, almost custard-like.
Fuyu persimmons are my favorite kind. They are rounder in shape and have flat bottoms. They don’t have to be left to fully ripen to enjoy and they have a slightly sweeter flavor than the Hachiya persimmons. The texture is similar to a firm mango but tastes more honey-like.

What you’ll need:
- Fuyu persimmons: these can be found at most Asian grocery stores generally between the months of Oct-Jan.
- Rolled oats/old-fashioned oats: this type of oats is best for this recipe for quicker cooking time.
- Brown sugar: light or dark brown sugar can be alternately used for this recipe.
- Butter: for that delicious buttery crumble.
