      For a while the leading recipe for them was persimmon bread. They told me this before I learned persimmons are fruit. So I spent many days low key disgusted.

(I've never let that odd fact dissuade me from eating persimmons, they're too damn delicious and the risks are super low.)

          Yellow orange, flattened sphere is a future and doesn’t get extremely soft. It’s a little crunchy but also has a long window where it’s ripe enough. Red orange and pentagonal is hayacha. It’s best when soft to very soft. Makes great persimmon muffins.

          Persimmons are not born soft. But they are valued for their softness.

          I feel like you shouldn’t try one now. The anticipation is just too much and the reality can only be a disappointment.

          You should marry your partner if you're into that because this is the most married story I've heard since my friend caught her husband cleaning the bathroom naked with a brush mounted on a drill.

          The persimmon gateway for me was baking them with apples and pears in a little crisp. Now I’m that lady eyeballing every persimmon tree in the neighborhood!

          Oh so I'm amazed this hasn't gotten here yet, but those are different persimmons. North American native persimmons aren't *anything* like Japanese persimmons and the recipes won't even a little bit work.

          They are not a tomato relative, but in my experience, it's similar eating. If it's still kinda firm eat it, if it's not, heck.
