- Subject: [NAFEX] My first taste of persimmon
- Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:59:32 -0500
I just ate my fist persimmon. I can't grow them here and I just never did get around to buying one, until now.
We drove over to Lake Placid yesterday to the largest supermarket in the area. I had in mind that I would buy a new fruit that I had never tried and persimmons were at the top of my list. They had them. Not a great display of quality and some were obviously going bad. They were only about 2 inches in diameter and they were $2 each. In spite of that, I decided it was high time I tried persimmons and bought 2.
I just ate the softer of the 2 and it wasn't bad. Very sweet. The skin was kind of tough compared to the soft inside but it was very edible. They each had a sticker that said produce of Israel. Maybe someday, I'll get to eat one that hasn't traveled so far. If I ever end up far enough south for Kaki Persimmons, I'll have to try growing them myself. Big if.
