This is one of the blessings of KZfaq. Just a simple video about a question I've always had but been too embarrassed to ask. I see persimmons in the grocery store (especially if I'm at an Asian store) but I've never known how to eat them. Now I feel comfortable buying one and trying it out. I understand they're particularly nutritious. :)

Wish I watched this before trying to eat an unripe persimmon. Thought I was having a bad allergic reaction based on how my mouth felt.

I'm 51 and tried both for the first time today... LOVED THEM!!

😓phew watched this just in time I bought three today and wasn't sure if I should eat them. I gave them a squeeze and they're hard as a rock! Thanks for this video 🙂

Thank you Margaret, known as persimmon in the states, as pérsimo in mexico but in spain they're known as caqui/kaki. And now I know there are two kinds, the astringent and the sweet, thank you for the COOL Share and greetings from Querétaro, Mexico. :)

So i'm here coz I bought 1 coz I thoight it's cute and looka like a fat tomato.

You have a very pleasant voice 😊

Well done. Straight to the point and everything I wanted to know.

Guys, just put your hachiya persimmon in a freezer for one night then thaw it & taste it, you'll love it - guaranteed!

LOVE LOVE LOVE persimmons! Over-ripe ones are like a really sweet goo.

A friend gave me one of these. Had no idea what it actually is LOL. Now I know mine is ripe and ready to be eaten :)

Just bought these for the first time, looking forward to trying them, thanks for the info :)

I just ate one and my mouth does feel weird. The fruit tasted great.

You have an incredibly beautiful voice

This video was very helpful. Thank you!

Do you eat the skin or no? I have one and I've never tried it before and want to make sure

I have had some for two weeks and they aren't soft.

Thank you Margaret Badore for the useful information. :)

I was peeling leaves off of persimmons at the supermarket until the produce police came. 😕🍅

I got a few of the type you called fuyu. my neighbor gave me them. They are mostly green. How long do they take to ripen off the tree? I'm glad you showed a type one as I would have cut one open and found it all green and inedible.

I was expecting to see lots of seeds. We must have a different variety here in South Carolina. Ours are much smaller, and packed full of seeds.

I wish I could find this stuff in the us.

This lady’s voice is so nice :3

this was very helpful . thank you. off to make my persimmon bread! :)

Very helpful. A friend gave me a couple fuyu today. Yum!

Very well done! Why would someone not like this video?

Like the off-camera crunch at the end...

I thought i had bought the fuyu ones but got the other ones instead. I had not had a persimmon in over a year and was so excited that i bit in to one in the car. (was hard like the fuyu persimmon). It was awful and of course i didn't have anything in the car to wash my mouth out with.

Thanks a lot, gonna eat my Hachiya like a boss now ;)

Did you eat the skin on the fuyu ?

can you eat the skin??

I found a persimmon tree in Garberville, California in someones front yard.

I prefer my persimmon something like 70% ripen. The perfectly ripe persimmon is too soggy for my taste.

BIG THANKS for sharing!!!

Awesome. Thank you.

Yuck! I just ate one that wasn't ripe at all. Saw it at the store and thought it looked sweet. Should have watched this before I ate it. Haha!

Why not just bite it like an apple? :p

You have beautiful hands.

Yeah the persimmon I am eating, did leave a furry taste. UUUGH

How do you ripen an Astringent that have been harvested but not ready to eat?

I have persimon and it's not that soft like yours but it tastes good, what you have looks like a sharon fruit to me.

They are called Kaki and Sharon in German.

thank you!

I don't eat persimmon now because I found out it causes constipation

You have beautiful hands :)

Is the skin inedible?

u should do asmr success guaranteed

I dont know why my country called this fruit as banana kaki... doesnt look and taste like banana at all...

Pls sent for me one

Thank you!

Thanks!

So you can eat a persimmon skin on the sweet ones?

Thank u
