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..

UUUGH Yes the one I'm eating DOES leave me a "Fuzzy" feeling in my mouth Thanks for posting

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!

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)

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

Perssimos delicious fruit

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

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!

your explanation is FABULOUS..................................................................

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.

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!

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

I had a persimmon banana smoothie the other day...so good! :)

I have two of the Japanese persimmons on my counter right now I think I will eat them now. And they are organic yay

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

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.

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! :)

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. :)

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.

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.

That's a gorgeous SEEDLESS Fuyu persimmon! :)

Good 👍

little party hat!! lol

durian next please

Thx for explanation,its really hard to find clear explanation like this clip.

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 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 are also yummy with lime juice on them!

I love persimmons they are delish

Love your videos, keep up the good work

The persmmons I eat are crunchy, but are there any forms of persimmons that is as soft as a tomato?

Is it sweet like a fruit or more like a tomato taste?

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.

It felt like chalk in my mouth, almost as if all the moisture on my tongue was sucked out.

Please to Yam's sweet potato varieties! There is such confusion!

So you eat skin and all?
