Smoked is best! I once had a hickory smoked Hachiya persimmon in Korea. They were hung up on a twig in the smoke path of the wood chimney heating the cabin in the mountains. Delicious. All of the sugars became carmelized and gooey.
I love persimmons! My grandfather used to buy them for me when I was a kid growing up in Russia. Best persimmons I have ever picked were slightly rotten on a side, cut the bad side out and enjoy!
I work in Produce departments in the Philadelphia area, and I love your videos…I think your page is what I've been looking for for quite some time…Thank you for producing these..
Superb Video YPG. I have to say I have never experimented with Persimmons but you have got my taste buds intrigued. I going to be looking out for these in my local stores. Thanks for the inspiration. Thumbs up. Steve
fuyu persimmons are soooo good. i need to find the hichiya persimmons. i heard that "bletting" can ripen them (astringent varieties) faster (putting them in a container with an apple or banana)
First video I've seen from you and I love it! Love you and this video I would love to have you as a teacher, you are great! Instantly subscribed! Thanks for a great video!
Thank you so much for sharing the information about persons. I have seen them before and I never tried them. I've also heard other people talk about them but I didn't know what to do how to eat them. So thank you very much for sharing information now I can go out and buy as many as I wanted you to my heart's content. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas
Thanks for this video. I bought 6 persimmons today at the farmers market and I didn't like the fuzzy taste. Now I know why. I have to wait until it's fully riped.
I had heard years ago from a friend of mine, that a persimmon when cut will show either a fork, spoon or knife inside the fruit. Call it an old wifes tale or farmers tale I don't know, but it will show one of the three. If a knife shows, it reveals icy winter, spoon you'll be digging out of a lot of snow, and I forget what the fork stands for. I don't recall which way you're to slice it, I presume across rather than how you just did from side to side. Let me know will you/ And what state are you in though. Thanks, enjoy your vid's very much.
Oh man I love persimmons they remind me of my grandmother bless her heart, she tough me that the first frost is when persimmons are ripe, I'll never forget when she told me to take a bite out of an unripe one, and my face puckered lol she just laughed.
Tried the fuyu persimmon 2 yrs ago I think. Very sweet fruit which was too much for me. But back there I did not eat much fruit. I could probably not be bother now as I eat SO much fruit now!!! I would eat fruit all day. I will give it another try. They taste kind of cinnamini (if that is a word) to me.
Never heard the weather prediction theory on Persimmons. Very interesting. Of course, most of the Persimmons sold here are coming from different areas, so not sure it would tell us anything about the winter here in Northern Utah. For that we turn to the Farmer's Almanac. If you believe that we will be spooning, oops, I mean shoveling a lot of snow this year. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The Hachiya variety (the one that grew in my backyard as a boy) must be soft before eating or you get that fuzzy/puckery sensation in your mouth. I've got the Persimmons from the video ripening right now and hope to make something with them so you can see how they need to be in order to eat them.
The Produce Guy makes very clear the difference in the two kinds of persimmons. Do it wrong and you may double up in pain for the rest of the day. It's a little worse than that "fuzzy feeling in your mouth!"
Persimmons and tomatoes are not cousins. The botanical classification of "berry" has only to do with morphology - shape and development of the fruit - and has nothing to do with being genetically related. The fact that Persimmons and some tomatoes look similar is pure coincidence in this regard. Persimmons are in the family Ebenaceae (tropical trees and shrubs such as Ebony), and tomatoes are in the family Solanaceae, along with potatoes, eggplant, bell and chili peppers, tobacco, nightshade, etc.

Perssimos delicious fruit
Because there is a long time between seasons for these little gems, I tend to forget just how flavorful and sweet they are. Go and enjoy them!
UUUGH Yes the one I'm eating DOES leave me a "Fuzzy" feeling in my mouth Thanks for posting
I got one from the food bank and needed to know when it gets ripe.❤. Thanks so much.
I loved your video! I saved me from a bad experience on my first Persimmon! waiting for it to be ripe

Interesting comment, I have heard that if any tree has lots of berries it will be a hard winter!
isn't it weird how nature works, it's amazing, thanks for commenting
You are welcome.
:) have a fantastic day
WheepingWillow2 You too. :)
YAY persimmons yum!
I just made a video about ripe hachiya persimmons too, in case anyone wants to see how ripe they should be before eaten. :)
Just saw these in the grocery store the other day and now I'll definitely try one! Also, how do you know when a pomelo and a guava are ripe? Thanks!
I will try and get that done for you very soon.

Thank you for sharing about persimmons. We had one before it was ripe and it was indeed fuzzy! I look forward to trying a truly ripe one! :)

I have two of the Japanese persimmons on my counter right now I think I will eat them now. And they are organic yay
I had a persimmon banana smoothie the other day...so good! :)
Fruits need to be eaten and munching with Your teeth, not to be drinking tru the straw !
Persimmons are the King of the Fruits !

a few of my persimmons are ripe but not all of them. what do i do so i dont loose the fruit
You're great!! Subscribed :)
The persmmons I eat are crunchy, but are there any forms of persimmons that is as soft as a tomato?
The Hachiya variety (the one that grew in my backyard as a boy) must be soft before eating or you get that fuzzy/puckery sensation in your mouth. I've got the Persimmons from the video ripening right now and hope to make something with them so you can see how they need to be in order to eat them.
Love your videos, keep up the good work
Is it sweet like a fruit or more like a tomato taste?
It is sweet like a fruit. Nothing like a tomato in it's taste.
durian next please
Guys, just put your hachiya persimmon in a freezer for one night then thaw it & taste it, you'll love it - guaranteed!
That's a gorgeous SEEDLESS Fuyu persimmon! :)
Thx for explanation,its really hard to find clear explanation like this clip.
Good 👍
Persimmons are also yummy with lime juice on them!
So you eat skin and all?
MAKE MORE VIDS
little party hat!! lol

It felt like chalk in my mouth, almost as if all the moisture on my tongue was sucked out.
I love persimmons they are delish
Please to Yam's sweet potato varieties! There is such confusion!
