This 400g pack of Fuping Molten Persimmon Cakes is made from high-quality local persimmons using traditional sun-drying methods. The persimmons are plump and round, with a naturally occurring white persimmon frost on the surface, a sign of superior quality. The flesh is soft and chewy, with a dense, translucent molten center, offering a smooth and creamy texture and a naturally rich fruity aroma. The overall sweetness is mellow and rich, not cloying, preserving the natural flavor of the persimmon. Individually packaged for easy storage and use, it's ready to eat straight from the bag. As a traditional specialty fruit, it's perfect for everyday snacks, after-dinner treats, or sharing with guests, offering an authentic flavor and outstanding taste.

I haven't had any good dried persimmons in a long time. I saw someone sharing this brand on Weee . This box has eleven persimmons. The size doesn't matter. They have a high-quality white frost, are soft, sticky, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweetness. I ate two in one go, which was very satisfying!

I like persimmons, I bought them before and they were very good. This time it was a bit wet, so let it dry a little first and then divide it into small packets and put it in the refrigerator to eat slowly.
