My mom was born and raised in Japan and loves persimmons…She is old fashion and ever year I have to peel the persimmons and hang them outside…hehe…I tell her there are new techniques faster and better but she tells me its not the same…I have about 25 persimmons peeled and hung of my balcony…Whatever makes her happy! <3

Why are folks peeling the ripe persimmons? we have both Japanese varieties in our back yard, harvesting now in mid November here in zone 7 and never peel either. We never peel apples either ;-> OK, maybe pineapples

Thanks for the great post. I recently bought persimmons from my local hispano/asian market and I was wondering how to make them edible. This will come in handy!

Great post! I’ve never eaten a persimmon raw before, only cooked in desserts, but you’ve got me craving one now!

Persimmons are one of my favorites: too bad they are so pricey in DC and their season is rather short…can’t wait to have some this coming weeks.

I love persimmons but unfortunately don’t find them very often. This post will nonetheless be very helpful next time I do. Thanks!

I can find both varieties of Kaki in my store but I have never seen dried persimmons. I prefer the Fuyugaki. Yum!

This is one of my favorite fruits! I had the incident of bitting on a persimmon before its ripe and its the worst-your mouth completely dries! I didn’t know that it means its not ripe yet! Great info.

I didn’t eat it this elegantly, used to just peel the skin off and bite into the whole fruit. The fun is to find the “chewy parts” among the soft flesh if you know what I mean.
