The Sharon fruit is a type of kaki or persimmon. Unlike a kaki, the Sharon fruit is always ready to eat and contains no seeds. Sharon fruit is particularly rich in vitamin C.
Sharon fruit can be eaten both hard and soft. If the fruit is still hard, it tastes crisp as an apple. As the fruit ripens, it tastes smoother and sweeter.
Our Sharon fruit go under our brand Discovered.
