Are you excited for persimmon season?

Are you excited for persimmon season?

I have never eaten a persimmon. What am I missing? If I go and buy one how is the best way to eat them?

buy one, you have my permission to eat a persimmon

Persimmons are probably the least exciting edible fruit in existence.

You're not missing anything.

This. Asian folks go nuts for it though. It looks like a little orange tomato with a unique, yet not very interesting sweet flavor.

It's like an almost flavorless apple

Don't they tend to dry them out, more so than eat fresh? That'd probably make them sweeter too.

I've mostly eaten fresh. Not a big fan, but I'm not a big fan of rice either so take that for what it is.

An almost non-existent sweetness followed by a cotton mouth

they smell like semen....so no
