How soft should they be when they're ready?

Meh

 

[Denverdave]

Never tried one.

I've had them before in stuff, but it's nothing I would go out of my way to have again.

I choose to believe adorable women on youtube.

We use to have a persimmon tree when I was a kid in Virginia. They were about the size of a golf ball when ripe and you had to wait until they fell from the tree or they were really bitter. Very tasty though when they were perfect.

I like the hard ones -- I do not care for the ones that have to be mush before you eat them.

 

[CBHScott]

Would .

Seared scallops over persimmon/carrot puree . Very tasty.

I've had them out of hand (I think only the Japanese version), and they were just OK. It's my understanding that they're better prepared in some way.

The woman in the vid speaks the truth. We eat them with a spoon. Though when we cut them in half, we cut across the equator and eat out of the resulting "bowl".
