This originally Asian berry looks like a dwarf tomato with a four-leaf stem. It's sweet with hints of honey and pumpkin. The Fuju variety is particularly popular because it's tannin-free, which means it has no bitterness even when it's not fully ripe.
Available from October through winter. Buy soft, almost mushy berries except for the Fuju variety, which can be bought hard.Subscribe to our newsletters for our very best stories, recipes, style and shopping tips, horoscopes and special offers.
