Persimmons

The persimmon is a variety of persimmon distinguished by its special sweetness and consistency. Although technically a berry, due to its size and appearance it is considered a fruit by consumers.

Its skin is shiny like a nectarine and its flesh is sweet like a mango. The color ranges from dark yellow to orange. In terms of size, it can vary from that of a large plum to that of an apple.

When eaten raw, it is consumed like a nectarine or a plum. In other words, it can be eaten with or without the skin, according to consumer preferences.
