Persimmons

[ElegantAura]

Do you like eating persimmons? Are they a fruit you often include in your diet?

If so, do you have a preference between the different types, like Fuyu or Hachiya?

Do you have any particular reasons for liking or disliking them?

I only remember persimmons from my childhood; don't recall the type; but all I can remember is that they really made my mouth pucker...like a lemon/lime. Maybe they were under-ripe.

Perhaps it was indeed under-ripe, as you mentioned.

The last time I had one was a few weeks ago, and it was wonderfully sweet. It was the Fuyu variety, although I don't eat them very often.

What exactly is a persimmon? lol.

By the way, the video isn't the best, but I didn't really look too hard. I just picked the one on top, but it’s good enough.
