Fuyu Persimmons

Fairly firm to soft

It sounds like you waited till they started getting a little softer, that's good. I still have some that are taking 3+ weeks to get ripe.
-
Update: Still loving persimmons and making love to them every time I eat one.
Well isn't that just NASTY!

Yeah, but I am trying to figure out if he inserts them or uses the old grapefruit trick and cuts a notch in them.

I use a ceramic paring knife to slice into them with surgical precision, and then slowly ease the slice into my mouth. I then firmly press the slice into the roof of my mouth and squeeze it, forcing the juice out of it and into my hard and soft palates, fully absorbing it's decadent and intoxicating flavor.

Yep confirmed you're a weirdo.

Very hard to get in my area. I've always wanted to try some. Describe the taste Drew.
It's a complex fruit to try to describe! The consistency and texture is a little like an underripe pear or an under-cooked zucchini. It's not too juicy, but it does have a slick consistency that's slightly slippery.
In terms of flavor, I would describe it as primarily earthy but with a floral type of sweetness. There's a complexity to the flavor that includes a hint of bitterness or astringency, depending on the ripeness level. As they get riper and softer, they get very sweet and juicy. I prefer them when they are still pretty firm, before they get to that level.
Overall it's a nuanced and interesting flavor that is very unique and hard to compare to other fruits. It's very much just one of those things you have to try to see if you like it or not, and for most people it's a love it or hate it reaction.
Drew you got a talent! You should be writing for a food magazine too!

Another aspiring food reviewer! Love it! Although probably not the same magazine as Drew!

Guess what boys, it's PERSIMMON SEASON AGAIN! YEAHHH BUDDY!
Oh my GOD it's been TOO LONG. Just devoured my first bag of them, will be resupplying this weekend. Looking into buying an entire box of them.
In this bag, some were over-ripe while others were under. But regardless, I made love to them and they were juicy and delicious. Absolutely incredible.

Today is my 10 year wedding anniversary and my wife asked me what I wanted for the occasion.
I told her PERSIMMONS! So, she went out and bought me SIXTEEN of them! If that's not love, I don't know what is! -
Congratulations, young man. My 38th was a couple of weeks ago. One day I must try a persimmon.
-
I bought my ex-wife some persimmons and she filed for divorce. Best $3 I ever spent!

Interesting short read on this fruit;
https://specialtyproduce.com/produce/Fuyu_Persimmons_9071.phpMost people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
"In Greek, the Fuyu persimmon’s botanical name, Diospyros means “divine fruit”."
You got that right! -
I'm not sure why but when I read "Fuyu Persimmons" I think of this guy:
"Yahoo Serious"

Nice hair.

He was in Young Einstein. I saw it in the theater in high school. Still one of my favorites! Zany, if you like that sort of thing. And an accurate depiction of Albert Einstein's life.KennethSwauger wrote: »I'm not sure why but when I read "Fuyu Persimmons" I think of this guy:

That's where I first head of him, he seems to have hit a few rough spots since.
