With our 500 g value pack, you can snack on the sweet fruit all year round and don't have to wait for the cold months. Buy dried kaki now and snack divinely!

Kaki, Sharon, persimmon: what is the difference?

Kaki, Sharon and persimmon look confusingly similar. This leads to the assumption that they are the same fruit. Let's clear this up! All three varieties belong to the same species: the Sharon fruit, just like the persimmon, is a cultivated form of the kaki. It contains no seeds and can be eaten when hard. This makes it more suitable for the trade, because very soft fruits are difficult to store when ripe. The taste of the Sharon fruit is reminiscent of honeydew melon and peach. The kaki is more reddish in colour, the Sharon fruit is more orange-yellow and the persimmon is yellowish. You can easily tell the difference between the fruits from this. The fruits also differ in size: the persimmon is somewhat more elongated and, like the Sharon, smaller than the kaki.
