I bought my first persimmon today on a whim as I'm trying to expand the varieties of fruit I eat. Your video was very helpful. It was tasty but I think not quite fully ripe. I'll try again soon. Thanks.

Thanks for this demo. I bought one today and can't wait to try it since I've heard the rave reviews!

I've been eating persimmons since I was a toddler because I have a persimmon tree! I love once it's fall season, and honestly I have eaten them when they are like apples and sort of like a mango state. Whenever I eat them Id say they taste very flavorful like cinnamon and really delicious fall sweet and spices. Idk if my taste buds are totally wrong, but that's how I perceive how they taste! :-)

That is so lovely to hear Robert, thank you! And how great that you have direct access to these delicious fruits. Enjoy :)

I think you're right Evita, persimmons are one of the best fruits ever! I look forward to persimmon season all year. Thankfully, in southern California you can commonly find them organic or no-spray at farmers markets. I actually love to let a Fuyu get SUPER ripe so its almost like pudding and then I slice in half and eat with a spoon. Next season I'm excited to slice them horizontally like you did to reveal the beautiful 8 pointed star. Thanks for the great tips!

I love, love, LOVE the peel. Never eat them without it. But otherwise, a fun demo. Thanks for sharing with the KZreads one of the best fruits in the world (IMMHO). :-)

You are very welcome, I am glad it was valuable to watch. As for sweetness, it is best to keep on counter until they ripen fully. As for how many days, it all depends on the stage at which it was picked. You will know that it will increase in sweetness usually by its increase in softness. So yes, fresh is best, as is, or in smoothies, or raw desserts. You can make traditional pies or jams, but then you have to heat the fruit, which will destroy some of its nutritional value.

I used to have a persimmon tree in california when I was a kid. It is my favourite fruit and contains lots of nostalgic memories from my childhood.

The ones I get are grown organically from a friend and wild from a backyard. I get them by the bag and then I eat them like apples. Sometimes I just bite into it and eat it like the apple, skin and all. Then sometimes I will slice them like apple slices and munch them at my desk. I never take the peal off cause I know they are non pesticide. These are one of my favorites of the season. Oh and once in a blue moon, I get a seed in one of them. It is the size of a small apricot pit. I save them for later hoping to sprout a tree someday.

They work great in a dehydrator too, then enjoyed months later.

+The Butler Did It The variety found indigenous to the East Cost of the US is quite rubbery. Much more of a pain in the butt to eat, but tasty nonetheless.

I did not know there was more than one type of persimmon until today. Now I want to try a fuyu. I haven't had persimmon since probably the mid to late 70's. I still remember how good the ripe ones were and how awful the ones not quite ripe enough were. I'm pretty sure they were the hachiya variety.

Hi Beckie, yes the type of persimmon makes all the difference with regards to its ripeness level. The Fuyu and Kaki can be eaten easily in their harder forms, but the Hachiya needs to be really soft to be enjoyed. Hope you get to try some Fuyus :)

This is one of my most favorite fruits, it taste to me like a cross between a peach and a papaya. I was first introduced to this fruit from a lady I worked for her daughter lived in California and had a persimmon tree growing in her front yard. The thing that I hated was that they were a dollar a piece in the stores here in Illinois, but now I can buy them at Meijer grocery store for three for a dollar or two for a dollar. When they are first introduced in late November early December they are cheaper at least that's what I have found at the Meijer grocery store, as the winter progresses evidently the trees are not producing as many so the price gets a little higher. But these are wonderful fruits.

So many comments below are about Hachiya persimmons, not Fuyus. Hachiyas are extremely bitter and astringent until fully ripe (very bright orange), at which point they are soft and somewhat messy. Fuyus, on the other hand, don't soften so much and are fully ripe (and still almost as hard as an apple) when you buy them at the store. This video is specifically about Fuyus.

I don't know if my way is wrong but this is how I am eating persimmons: First of all you have to wait until the fruit is ripe (the inside becomes kind of jelly), it tastes a lot better. Use a knife to cut off the top, get a spoon and start eating the inside.

+HTHIA There are many varieties of persimmons. For the Hachiya, yes, it is important to wait until it is soft and almost mushy, but not for the Fuyu or the Vanilla varieties. So your method sounds good specifically for that variety. The Fuyu and the Vanilla have developed flavors when still somewhat firm.

It is a beautiful tree.

"You should also know that Organic NON-GMO persimmon have large seeds that are edible" *I'd just like to point out that seedless ones aren't necessarily genetically modified.* The trees are selectively pollinated over many generations until they have been successfully cultivated to produce seedless fruit, much like the modern banana vs it's "wild" and natural cousin, which is full of seeds. The same way that farmers selectively breed cows for example, to get the biggest and fittest calves. No genetic modifications.

Thank you. Very informative. I've been eating these for about 10 years and just decided to see if I was eating them correctly and I was! Lol

Was it fat or tall? Fat varieties like the fuyu are sweeter and taller varieties are very astringent and need to be dried. I have an "American" variety that is the taller type and I remove the skin and hang them from sewing thread in the window for 30 days. You can also dehydrate them. The fat varieties if picked to soon can be astringent and I will just put them in the dehydrator. That's how I do it.

Please keep in mind that there are many varities, and they look very similar, especially at first glance to those who are not familiar with them.

Dear Lady, Thank you so much for your informative video. I've never heard of Persimmon before, let alone been able to buy them. I found some in our local LIDL (opened a month or so ago) the other day (Rojo Brilliante grown in Spain). I was feeling adventurous so, when I saw them, they looked so delicious I bought three. They are now in my fridge. So I needed to know how to eat them? Bite into them, like an an apple or what? The instructions on the pack only say "Wash before use." Nothing else. Also, is the fridge the best place to store them as, looking at other KZread vidoes, it appears that they are considered best eaten when half rotten?

@Healthytarian

Deano Shepherd Thanks for sharing your comment and questions. Yes, many people like to eat the Persimmon when it is very soft and squishy, I don't. So it is a matter of personal preference. It is same for many other fruits, like bananas....some prefer them more ripe, some less ripe. So you will find with experience what works best for you. As for fridge or not, it depends on how much one has of them and how long you plan to keep them. Generally speaking, fruits like this one are just fine on the counter at room temperature, but can be placed into the fridge to prolong their shelf-life, as they won't ripen as fast.

I love this fruit but I didn’t known of the health benefits until today, it reminds me of a fruit in Jamaican called star-apple, but in the UK it’s called Sherman fruit.

You are very welcome. Persimmons are not a good choice of fruits for juicing purposes. To make a good juice, you will want to use a fruit or vegetable that is very watery and not "starchy" "fleshy" or "pulpy". Persimmons would be better used for smoothies, as that would make best use of their thicker, fleshy nature. But these fruits really are best eaten in their whole and natural form, and not made into any beverages.

@Healthytarian

Yes, Marjorie, dried fruit is always slightly different in its health and nutrition potential, and while it is good too, fresh it always the best. The other thing you have to consider with dried fruit is that it is much more concentrated, since it lost all of its water content, and this makes it easy to overeat dried fruit with unfavorable consequences. Also, dried fruit is commonly preserved with harmful preservatives, like sulfites, and may even include added colors, sugars, and oils. Be sure to read the ingredients on your dried fruit bags or bulk bins to be sure that you are getting pure dried fruit without any additives.

I love this fruit. I eat it like an apple. I get them from a friend’s tree and so I know there are no pesticides.
