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
