Ingredients: Hoshigaki (Japanese-Style Dried Persimmons)
*They are a healthy and environmentally friendly food. No preservatives or additives are used in the drying process.
Making Hoshigaki is a traditional Japanese art. We reserve our best Hachiya persimmons from organically grown trees for drying. It is the most mind blogging artisanal process but delicious dried fruit around. We use the traditional Japanese hand-drying technique to preserve these gems. We hang our persimmons with strings and dry them in a sunny, airy spot. Once they form a skin, we give them daily gently massages with an abundance of care and love. This method allows the whole fruit to dry evenly into a perfect consistency. The whole process is done entirely by hand. After 3 to 5 weeks of high maintenance of these jewels, the flesh within has a tender but chewy texture, pleasantly moist, sweet and complex flavors of bread and baking spices. Likewise, the flesh gradually turn from bright orange into amber glow to dark brown. Rest assured, the white dusting on the surface is NOT mold , and taste nothing like mold. The slow drying process and labor-intensive massage of Hoshigaki, the sugar content are crystalized. Then, the white powder develops naturally on the outer layer. They will continue to develop more white powder as they age. Although some exteriors may have less sugar coating than others, it does not alter the taste at all. They are an excellent source of fiber, low in calories and contain all kinds of phytonutrients, flavonoids and antioxidants.
