The variety of persimmons known as fuyu persimmons that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325505 Dried fuyu persimmons (Commodity) covers dried and processed persimmons supplied to state and local food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and institutional cafeterias. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring dried persimmons as part of broader fresh and processed produce line items for K–12 school lunch programs and correctional facility food service.
