Seasonal Persimmon Sampler - 3 lbs.

Light and hardy, these bright and delicious fall fruits resemble a tomato in shape and size. Persimmons add a subtle sweetness to any salad or side dish; they are rich in vitamin A and a good source for vitamin C. Try eating them fresh out of hand or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice. The season’s best varieties are sent straight to your home or to a loved one.

From its founding by Sharon and Joe Hernandez in 1984 in a small rented room, to its current standing as the U.S.‘s largest distributor of specialty produce with a 280,000 square foot warehouse in Los Angeles, Melissa’s Produce has remained family-run. If you’ve been wondering how world-class restaurants and TV shows like “Top Chef” have been able to track down the world’s best produce…well, the secret’s out. Fresh vegetable and fruit delivery includes flawless baby vegetables; exotic fruits including lychees and Pepino melons (and some you may not have even heard of, like sapotes and tamarillos); and more — you’ve truly never had produce like this.
