Homonym: Fuyu (Winter)
Fuyu is a type of persimmon, a sweet and flavorful fruit that is typically orange or yellow in color. It is known for its crisp texture and can be eaten while still firm, unlike some other varieties that must be fully ripe. Fuyu persimmons are often enjoyed fresh in salads, dried as snacks, or used in desserts.
This fruit is native to East Asia and is particularly popular in countries like Japan and Korea. Fuyu persimmons are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as dietary fiber, making them a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. They are usually in season from late fall to early winter.
