Organic Persimmons – Maru – “Chocolate Persimmon” – Unwaxed Unsprayed Chemical-Free Veganic Non-GMO – 4lbs

California Organic Persimmons might come in a variety of sizes:

California Organic Persimmons grow on a tree in a variety of sizes. Larger and smaller persimmons all grow on the same tree side by side. Since we strive to be a sustainable orchard and not waste perfectly good organic fruit, we pick what organic persimmons are ripe on the tree at the time your order is harvested and do not sort by size.

For this reason you might receive a variety of sizes of organic persimmons in your shipment.

Some persimmons will be large, some will be small. We ensure that the fruit is ready to harvest, all the sizes are equally healthy, delicious and nutritious.

California Organic Persimmons from Zava Ranch are unwaxed and 100% unsprayed:

We do not spray or apply any kind of synthetic or chemical pesticides, fungicides, or nutrients/fertilizers.

Organic fruit is harvested and shipped only early in the week:

Please note that we harvest and ship via 2-day Fedex priority mail only early in the week to ensure that the freshly picked California organic persimmons get to our customers before the weekend and are not sitting on a truck or in a warehouse somewhere for two extra days.

Please place orders by Sunday night so that they get on our Monday harvest schedule. In order to minimize food waste, we harvest only what was ordered. If you place your order later in the week it will be harvested and shipped the following week and will arrive to your door on Wednesday or Thursday.

Why are Organic Persimmons shipped direct from California grower often not as pretty as fruit in the supermarket?

The reality is that truly organic, veganic, chemical-free and sustainably grown fruit is often not “pretty.” Because we don’t spray, wash, wax, or chemically-treat California organic persimmons to achieve specific “marketable” appearance, our organic persimmons might appear imperfect and might have visible cosmetic defects. This does not mean that fruit is bad. On the contrary, it shows that we are offering naturally-grown California organic persimmons straight from the trees in our orchard – no washing, no sorting by size, no artificial ripening!

Why should I buy California Organic Persimmons direct from grower?

There are many reason to buy California organic persimmons direct from grower. Buying organic fruit directly from grower is a better choice that benefits both your own health and the health of our planet. Unfortunately, conventional fruit that is purchased at the grocery store has typically changed many hands over many weeks or often many months, from growers, to pickers, to packing houses, to storage, to distributors, to wholesalers, to retailers. Sometimes fruit is picked while it is still green, long before it reaches ripeness, to increase the time it can be stored and then chemically ripened as needed.
