About persimmon
I admit, I didn’t know persimmon either until a few years ago when my mother used it in a fruit salad. But this was a starting point for me to discover this delicious exotic fruit. Persimmons exist in different varieties, but the best known is the Asian or Japanese persimmon. Sometimes it is also described as the kaki fruit. South East Asia is also where they come from and were they are mostly grown: China, Japan, Korea, In Europe they are also grown in Spain.
How to describe the taste? Well, think of a combination of apricot, honey and apple and you are going in the right direction. It is sweet, fresh and fruity with a bite. It is important that you buy ripe persimmons. If they are not ripe, they will taste bitter and unpleasant. It is like with bananas and many other fruits: by ripening glucose is formed which make them taste so sweet.
Persimmons are typically eaten in the period from September until December. That is why filled Persimmon is the perfect choice for your Christmas dinner dessert.
As I mentioned before, my mother made it once in a fruit salad. Maybe I will post something like that also, later this season. Apart from this filled persimmon I also made a persimmon smoothie. That one is perfect after Christmas to clean your body with a tasty smoothie from all those calories.
