Fuyu Persimmons - firm ripe vs mushy ripe?

Oops. Fuyu, not "fuji." Silly typo.

Fuyu Persimmons - firm ripe vs mushy ripe?

Hi all,
I have both kinds of persimmon. Love the fuji when crunchy like an apple.

Try freezing the others after totally ripe. Then, run them under warm water to remove the skin with your hands. Slice and eat like a natural sorbet. Yum. Or, of course, bake with them or put them in a smoothie.

They will ripen if picked when green if they are left alone. But they will never be as nice as allowed to orange up on the tree.
