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.)

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!.... ❤❤❤

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).
@inthekitchenwithmatt8 ай бұрын
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.

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. I just need to find a way to ripen them!

That is awesome, lots of amazing fruits grow in Spain, especially Southern Spain. And yes if your mouth immediately puckered up, they were definitely not ripe. Maybe you needed a few more weeks for those others to ripen. You are welcome!

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.

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.
@inthekitchenwithmatt2 жыл бұрын
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

Love that you did this! I bought some the other day and it was exactly how you described it as chalky. It was so bitter and it instantly dried up my mouth. Now I know to leave them to ripen a bit first. Are they the same as Sharon fruit?

Thank you! Yes Sharon fruit is another name for them. :) Yes, let those ripen! haha :)

Delightful fruit! I had it when it wasn’t so ripe and liked it but the fully ripen one is yummyyyyy. Not going back to the hard version. Thanks for sharing this video. The Fuyu is my preferred one, the other variety I don’t like because of the chalky stainy taste

in country georgia, every second garden have tree with this fruit, we call it karalioki, thats from russian culture i belive, it has very sweet taste, it like a peach with sugar carammele and has very hard noticeable chocolate taste, i think so, it looks like a yellow apple and usually we eat it while its hard, couse when it gets soft it has only taste of sugar funny fact, it has the same looking version, that has the strangest taste u can ever experience, i can't even describe, like when u eat glue that will stick to ur tangue, yeiks

Hello! That is really cool! And yes you are right the unripe ones have such a strange bitter tongue sticking taste. :) Interesting to hear they have them in the country of Georgia as well.

I tried some. Got them from my local supermarket around the corner. Normally we don't see fruit like this or other exotic fruits like dragon fruit but I bought it instantly once I seen them because always wanted to try. Persimmons taste like tomatoes mixed eith tiny bit of orange. Yucky..Not my mind of fruit and dragon fruit had no flavor but was really pretty.
@inthekitchenwithmatt2 жыл бұрын
Hey Kevin, you must not have had a ripe one, the ones I showed in this video are extremely sweet. Try the yellow dragon fruit if you get a chance, it tastes better than the pink dragon fruit.
