YOU CAN EAT THEM RAW AND THEYRE SOOO GOOD!!

They need to be super squishy, breaking apart when you hold them in your hand.

They taste kinda like strawberry syrup :)

i just had the other kind of persimmon. it was at the point where there were shriveled mushy parts, but some was still firm. i had never had one before, and couldn't wait anymore. so i ate it. they're so good! i wish i had waited one more day though.  it makes your mouth dry if you eat it before it's completely mushy.

Like this guy say, there are two kinds of persimmons.

The one he is cutting, YOU can eat them hard.

It's really good! ^_^

@daregularperson I think theyre good either waay, better soft, but the acorn shaped "hachiya" is better mushy.

@ocergnairb I had a slightly green banana once, (it wasnt completely green, more of a bright yellow) it was pretty good.

@ocergnairb Hey thanks for the comment and the tip. For salads, they are great when still firm. Not unripe but with a little give they make great salad and desert toppings. Thanks again for watching!
