My friend, who is now in heaven, used to make persimmon cookies every Christmas. I miss her and those wonderful cookies. I'm going to attempt to make them this year since she gave me her recipe! It's been over 20 years but better now than never. That's what brought me here. I have no knowledge of persimmons. I bought the fuyus and I'm hoping they're the correct ones to use. Wish me luck!

We have a new tradition. I bring an exotic fruit to my brother's for an after dinner treat. The family gathers around to watch your video - and then we eat that fruit. Last week did persimmons. The Fuyu's were a big hit. Could have been a touch more ripe, but were quite good. Then the Hichaya's... blah, they were quite chalky just you you had. Underneath the chalkiness, it seemed like it would taste quite good. (I bought another one, softer, and waiting a bit for it to ripen more.)

That is awesome!! Glad you are trying new fruits, definitely a fun hobby of mine.

I just tried persimmons for the first time. I took 3 really ripe persimmons, removed all the thick jelly inside and put it into a bowel. I then added a few slices of Irish butter, some Himalayan salt, cinnamon and brown sugar to the bowel. I heated it up in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Stirred it all up, let it cool for 2 minutes, grabbed a spoon and DEVOURED every bit off it. The butter gives the persimmon and creamy nutty flavor, the Himalayan salt balanced out the sweetness and enhanced the butter flavor, the cinnamon & brown sugar take the flavor to a whole other level of DELICIOUSNESS and now I'm totally hooked on them!.... ❤❤❤

In Brazil the name is Caqui. We have a lot of variets like Fuyu, Chocolate, Rama Forte, Kyombo. It's very popular here since we have the largest japanese colony in the world. Fresh or dryed is delicious.

I'm from China. Eating persimmon is one of the joyful moments of my childhood. The persimmons I see in the US look different from the ones in China. The ones in China kinda look like the mixed breed of those two: their shape and texture is like Fuyu but tastes like Hichaya. The Fuyu in the US stores don't look very appetizing (look very hard) so I had to come to this video to learn how to eat a persimmon lol. Thank you!

In Louisville, KY, a family I once knew had a HUGE persimmon tree growing in their front yard. They would pick them and make pudding with them. I remember them saying not to eat the skin because it will leave you with a horrible dry cotton mouth feeling. They were right! It took over an hour before my mouth returned to normal. Also, their persimmons had large seeds (like paw paws).

@inthekitchenwithmatt

It sounds like they may have been growing the American Persimmons which are a little different than these Asian varieties. That horrible dry cotton mouth feeling is that astringent taste that comes when the persimmon is not ripe. As you know it is really gross haha.

We grow a lot of those in Greece the last two years. The fruit had a limited popularity in the past, was rather expensive and could not be found just in any supermarket or veg market but now is all over the place and no more expensive than apples. Locally grown persimons are an autumn/winter fruit, mainly available from mid October to February. My favorite winter fruit.

The persimmon in our trees are much smaller than those you show. Some are orange in color but most are much darker, almost purple. When they fall, which they are doing now, they are so sweet. The ones that split when they fall are full of bees, I guess they're storing up the sugar for winter. Also,, my persimmons have 4 large seeds. We mash them to separate the seeds and skin from the pulp. Do you know a better way to use them?

Sigh. This video is just so poorly presented. What you have are American persimmons and they are a very different fruit. You should only eat fruit that has fallen from the tree, before that it will make you sick and taste awful. My mother always used a food mill to remove the seeds and puree the flesh and skin. Once made into a puree, it works much like canned pumpkin. The flavor is unique but will remind you of pumpkin pie. Since we can't get persimmon puree here, I make the cookies with canned pumpkin. The depth of flavor is missing, but it's an acceptable substitute. I have never tried these Asian varieties but their flesh is very different. Try looking up recipes for American persimmons. Mitchell, Indiana has a persimmon festival every fall and I think their website might be more helpful.

I live in Spain and have several fields of persimmon in the farms behind our house. While walking through the fields, I've been known to sneak a fruit or two. However, when I bit into it, my mouth immediately puckered. I guess we have the astringent variety and they weren't quite ripe. This. year I found the whole crop on the ground. I am not sure if they weren't harvested or the owner just knocked them off. Either way, I took some home with the hopes of ripening them. I left them weeks with no luck. They never turn soft and sweet like you show here. Perhaps next year, I'll place them with some bananas to see if they speed the ripening. I was told by a local that here they are put in alcohol however, I don't exactly know the process. Anyway, thanks for your video as you confirmed that my experience shouldn't turn me from this fruit.

Yes indeed!!

It's hard to describe the flavor of a persimmon specifically the fuyu which are the ones I used to eat as a kid. Best way I described them is that they taste sweet in the same way honey does with flesh texture similar to not fully ripenned tomato. Best when eaten fully ripe to avoid the slight bitter after taste of non-fully ripenned persimmon.

Agreed! Hard to describe them. And yes, you definitely have to eat them when they are soft and ripe, otherwise bitter and chalky tasting, because of the tannins.

The flavor reminds me of pumpkin a little bit with other fruits

I picked two fresh ones today here in Virginia. I’m not a skilled picker but I have fuyu persimmons. They’re pretty hard but I’m excited to try this! 😋

Awesome!! :)

I have a 20 foot tall fuyu tree in my yard. It does not produce fruit every year, or at least not equally year to year. This year I have a bumper crop. In preparing I remove the top and peel along with any bruises, I find the peel too hard to eat. The persimmon add a sweet chunky flavor to my chicken curry along with potatoes, carrots and broccoli. I also roast them with olive oil, salt and pepper, the salt and pepper offset the sweetness well. I peel and freeze what I don't use immediately, if you're going to peel it's best if done when they've just started to soften.

I have a Persimmon tree in my backyard that was there when I moved in. I’ve never had one though because I’ve always thought they smelled gross, but my dogs eat them all the time. I might try one but I’m still scared😂

What does it taste like other than the texture? What common fruit does it most resemble?

Sweet and juicy some people describe it as between an apricot and a plum. But really it doesn't taste like other common fruits it has its own taste.

Matt, I was wondering when you can tell it’s ripe without cutting into it? I just had one that I thought was ripe, but it was definitely not after tasting
