How to eat a persimmon and know if it's ripe

[@zyxwut321]

This is one of the blessings of KZbin. 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.

[@thatpersonyoudidntknowexis149]

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

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. :)

😓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 🙂

[@mailije]

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

[@jypsydog6079]

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

[@biddyboo8]

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

[@czierwo]

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 :)

[@LuKasAV6]

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

[@nervousstranger]

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

[@melancholyman9319]

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

[@jean1051]

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

[@vulnikkura1735]

This lady’s voice is so nice :3

[@rgruenhaus]

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.

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

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

[@GaryMcKinnonUFO]

So you can't eat the skin of the acorn-shaped ones (i have those)?

[@boshy100]

You have an incredibly beautiful voice

[@juliedurlak]

OMG I felt the opposite. So sloooooow and boring! This video could've been half the time!

[@PedroTricking]

+Julia Dee There's a magic button for you that speeds it to 2x. Though tbh 3x would be helpful.

[@auntyangie33]

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

[@anonnor5895]

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

[@jacecmiller]

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.

[@eijonasson]

Did you eat the skin on the fuyu ?

[@MargaretBadore]

Yes, you can eat the skin.

[@botokgraffiti]

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

[@dqcruz32]

can you eat the skin??

[@kimberlymccall4153]

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

[@acumagnet1]

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

[@boatkid888]

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.

[@krystalmary1985]

Scott Hansen Those are the wild American persimmons. The kinds you find in the store are the imported varieties 🙂

[@livesimplifiedlife]

Thank you Margaret Badore for the useful information. :)

[@Getrealpeeps]

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

[@an8thdimensionalbeing142]

I wish I could find this stuff in the us.

[@Reefphreak]

[@SONGZPRINCESS]

This video was very helpful. Thank you!

[@Pepesplants]

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

[@shirleywilliams3831]

[@Makingnewnamesisdumb]

Is the skin inedible?

[@KombuchaLiz]

[@mgw2024]

Why not just bite it like an apple? :p

[@edric615]

[@kimberlymccall4153]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@lapislazuli4544]

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

[@LGnLA]

BIG THANKS for sharing!!!

[@savedfaves]

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

[@bonek350]

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!

[@ivanraz]

You have beautiful hands :)

[@sviluppatoresoftware]

They are called Kaki and Sharon in German.

[@upton_ogood]

[@erikgordon6893]

[@mehdisimunovic]

[@seau2007]

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

[@umayedin795]

Steve Utermahlen - I leave mine on the shelf for a few days . When you can squish it with your fingers slightly ,it's ready 😊

[@MargaretBadore]

I would just let it sit at room temperature until it softens up.

[@sanchitamaharjan1272]

Steve Utermahlen if u have harvested paddy... u can put it inside them to ripe it fast.. we do practice it in our country to ripe it faster...😊😊😊😊

[@ElectrikUnicorn]

My persimmon is not ripe.....

[@ImperialEarthEmpire]

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

[@trinitoyreviews8581]

[@519forestmonk9]

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

[@MargaretBadore]
