persimmons

[svrn]

whats up with persimmons? is there something special about them? Along with pineapples and papayas, persimmons seem to be an extremely smoothly digested fruit for me. I love em.

they are tastey and bizzaaree, and best when they are soo almost ripe rotten...they probably have a lot of enzymes

I find them to be somewhat hard to digest sometimes, especially wild ones.

I still love the taste, though.

Our markets have them lately.  They say ours come from Korea.

I live in a persimmon-growing climate. Aside from their incredibly great taste, part of the persimmon frenzy is that they have a very short season. You wait eleven months, then they arrive, then they're gone. They dry well and have an interesting taste when dried.

Oh, we can keep them several months in a basement. I'm just coming back to collect some more at a neighbor's tree. I store several hundreds of them in my basement and they ripen slowly: a few get ripe everyday from now till the end of February - beginning of March.

maybe uv just had an astringent persimmon. itt can be hard if you have an extra astringent variety but the non astringent ones digest incredibly i feel.

lucky Iguana, I wish I had that many persimmons.
