Share a gift of two classic fruits. Ancient Egyptians saw the pomegranate as a symbol of prosperity, and the Greeks included the fruit in their myths. Today, we revel in the red, juicy arils that hold its seeds. They add color to green salads, are delicious as a topping for yogurt, and add a blush to a glass of champagne.

Persimmons are sometimes referred to as "A Fruit from the Gods". Fuyu persimmons are one of only two types of the fruit available for sale in the U.S. The Fuyu can be eaten out of hand, unlike the other U.S.-grown variety, which is more suited to cooking and baking. The Fuyu persimmon is a deep orange fruit that is firm, crispy, and delicately sweet when first harvested. As it ripens further is becomes sweeter and softer.
