How it's used

Named for its distinct heart shape, this variety is prized for being seedless and having a smoother texture than rounder persimmon types. It is a seasonal fruit often associated with autumn markets in Hong Kong. Unlike other varieties that might require ripening to remove astringency, this type is generally consumed when firm or slightly soft.
