Oh my husband loves these! We have plenty here in Portugal. Our kind go nice and soft inside when they're ripe, they're like jello, you can eat them with a spoon.
@debican01 persimmon is a hard fruit sort of like an apple but a different texture. Once peeled the color of the inside is pretty much just as orange as the peel. I really can't think of anything that I can compare the taste to.
@juliewalters74 Hi Julie... persimmon is a hard fruit sort of like an apple but a different texture. Once peeled the color of the inside is pretty much just as orange as the peel. I really can't think of anything that I can compare the taste to.
I live in Indiana and we wait until after the first frost to pick our presimmons. They actually fall from the tree and that is when you know they are ready. Is the presimmon tree you are picking these from a different variety than ours I wonder? They must be because they are bitter if you don't wait until they are ready to be picked (up from the ground, not pulled from the tree). So, to beckwhitty, believe me when I say we don't have tropical plants here in Indiana either! lol! Cheryl

I love persimmons but haven't picked any in a long time. It was fun to watch your vid this morning.
