Be careful when eating persimmon! Depending on the type of persimmon, you will want to eat it at different points when it ripens.

Try biting into a Hachiya persimmon while it's still firm 👀 have you tried both of these persimmons yet?
I prefer fuyu whether it's firm or softer. I love persimmon ❤
Ha! Core childhood memory!
We always had the squishy ones (I didn’t even know about the other for at least another 10 years 😬).
Loved them – until I had one that wasn’t ripe. Dear lord. You are NOT kidding about the experience!
I LOVE fuyu but I don't think I can eat the hachiya, way too mushy for me.
The Hachiya are sooo good frozen. Its like sorbet
eww
what are you supposed to do with this thing 😢
I have always had this soft one …n other one which is the hard one…is naahhhh
Wow😁
Where I come from we remove the top then just eat it whole
I was the reverse. I had the Hachiya as a kid and then had the firm one after. I tend to like the firm one better because I decide when to eat it while Hachiya decides when I need to eat it. 😂
Yes I have only tried this type and it was so good 😊
lol the unrippen ones will suck the spit out of your mouth
Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
No wonder my mouth got dry and my tongue felt prickly 😂😂😂😂😂 cause we do eat a lot of especially my father cause it's good for his heart and help produce red blood cells
You’re eating old persimmons
I'm Polish, I've never tried them before, but I just bought one today to try. I have the Hachiya type, so good thing I watched some videos about this fruit, because mine is definitely not quite ready to eat yet. It's quite soft already, but it probably isn't ripe enough just yet. A day or two and it should be perfect. I'm excited to try it :D.
The only persimmons I’ve ever had were the small American and the hachiya, my aunt is from Vietnam and regularly bought them, she wouldn’t let us even touch them unless they were basically about to explode
I've only had old school 1890s type persimmons. Yellow and like sour wood unless they are properly bletted. Then like mush. Or jelly. They were ok.
If I cut it open and saw those brown steaks I would have thought it was spoilt
Yeah I’ve had the second one and it is a lot sweeter!
I’ve only tried the tiny ones that grow naturally in my friends backyard in Arkansas. It tastes just like orange Fanta to me
كاكا
the second type open it from above because the worms often hide there
you're wasting the skin on the hachiya??? It's one of the best parts!!!
Are those seeds
Yes
I made the mistake of trying a Hachiya one while it was still firm and it was so bitter and literally made my mouth EXTREMELY dry and weird feeling. I bought 2 and let the other one get super mushy and it was so amazing!
American persimmon is eaten soft as well. We pronounce the word a little differently.
Here in Brazil, this fruit is known as "Caqui".
I waited three months and those bastards were looking like old tomatoes, AND THEY WERE STILL ASTRINGENT
We have the hachia one in Iran which is called « Khormaloo » , and it's one the popular fruits of autumn 🍁
It's so sweet , delicious and nutritious
My grandparents have a hachiya persimmon tree in their garden, eating it ripe is like drinking honey ! so sweet ❤
I have a tree of persimmons and it's the hachiya 😊😅
I love this fruit❤
My 90 year old grandmother would make persimmon pudding all my life growing up and it was sooooo good. Never actually seen a persimmon though. The pudding was brown and has the texture of like an extremely moist wet cake is the only way I can think to describe it
Hashiya persimmons are good for baking or eating super soft.
We called Hachiya in Pakistan "Japanese Fruit ". I don;t know why. Maybe first time its plants were imported from Japan.
In Italy we call it kaki mela. I personally like the soft one more!
This fruit is just way to sweet..like sugar.
Yes I have
