I had my first persimmons in college. Under-appreciated fruit.
One year I made the mistake of picking one from a tree too early and it made my mouth all cottony and numb lol.

I learnt that unripe persimmons are astringents during the usual wikipedia info dump while eating one 15 minutes ago lol
never wanted to ate a normal persimmon, the consistency creeps me out. so one day my grandpa brought me some “kaki mela”, which is Italian for fuyu/apple/non-astringent persimmons, and it was love at first bite! they’re as sweet as loquat imo.
had to search the translations, never heard of them in eng

persimmons, the crisp variety, are insanely good
