Try Something New, Discover Something Great (Feat. Fuyu Persimmons)
Try Something New, Discover Something Great (Feat. Fuyu Persimmons)
Every so often, you find a new fruit hanging out in the breakroom that gets everyone asking questions. This time, it’s the Fuyu persimmon.
Fuyu persimmons may not be as familiar as apples or bananas, but their bright orange color and sweet, honey taste makes them a fun change of pace from everyday fruit. And since they’re only around for a short time each year, consider this the perfect moment to give them a second look...
In a workplace culture that thrives on innovation, fresh ideas, and trying new things, what better way to spark conversation than with a fruit that’s as unique as your team?
November is peak persimmon season, and at Sigona’s Office Deliveries, we’re bringing fresh, local Fuyu persimmons straight to your breakroom. Crisp, sweet, and ready to eat, they’re the perfect fruit for first-timers and seasoned snackers alike.
Fuyu Persimmon - The Model Teammate
If fruits were coworkers, the Fuyu persimmon would be the one who quietly shows up, delivers consistent results, and surprises everyone with hidden talents.
Here’s why Fuyus deserve a little recognition:
- Reliable from day one: No onboarding period needed. Unlike Hachiya persimmons (who need time to soften up), Fuyus are ready to go. They're sweet and snackable when firm. They’re the kind of teammate who jumps right in and gets things done.
- Balanced and approachable: With a flavor that’s both crisp and honeyed, Fuyus are easy to like. Not too flashy, not too bland, just the right mix of personality to win over skeptics and fruit fans alike.
- Adaptable under pressure: Whether tossed in a salad, grilled for a team lunch, or paired with cheese at a holiday mixer, Fuyus shine in any setting. They’re the versatile hero every team needs.
- Visually engaging: With their vibrant orange color and cheerful round shape, Fuyus brighten up the breakroom and spark curiosity. They’re the kind of presence that makes people say, “Hey, what’s that?” and start a conversation.
Why Persimmons Are a Smart Snack Choice
Trying persimmons isn’t just fun, it’s good for you! They’re:
- Rich in fiber which supports digestion
- Packed with antioxidants, like vitamin C and beta-carotene
- Low in fat, but high in natural sweetness
- Versatile! Slice them into salads, eat them like an apple, or add to a cheese board.
"I really look forward to biting into a sweet crunchy Fuyu persimmon. To me it has almost a pumpkin-like flavor and puts me right in the season." - Jimmy Sigona, Director
Breakroom Challenge Idea
Encourage your team to take the Persimmon Challenge:
- Try a slice of Fuyu persimmon from our November basket/box deliveries.

- Share a moment when trying something new at work led to a win.
It’s a fun way to spark conversation, build culture, and maybe even discover a new favorite fruit!
