Yep, I love them growing up in Brazil. I've got a tree in CA and last year had over 80+ fruit. This year 0😂. I just eat as a fruit. My mother in law makes cookies. Either way fantastic fruit. Foyu is the best IMO but you really have to wait until they are soft and red like a tomato.
Persimmon is a fruit. There are 2 kinds of persimmons that I know of. The one you showed is like an apple (it is good when it's firm to the touch but not too sweet). You eat it as you would normally eat an apple. The other kind of persimmon is a little bit bigger than the one you showed (and felt so soft to the touch). It's best to eat when it's fully ripe but it's too sweet though. This kind of persimmon is usually used for baking.
Persimmons are a great fruit. My mom grows them in her backyard. You can slice and eat them just the way they are. You can also chop it up and put it in your salad. It has a sweet taste to it. I have seen some people cut it up and put butter and cinnamon on it and cook for a little and put it in ice cream. My favorite way is cutting it up and eating it and putting in salads.
I have a Fuyu persimmon tree and we love the fruits. You can eat it when it's still crunchy just like an apple. Great in salads. When it's all soft, you can put it in kefir, yogurt, yumm! When I have too many, I slice them up and dehydrate them after marinating them in lemon juice and ginger! Lastly, for the really ripened soft fruits, I slow cook them on the stove with a bit of water, ginger, spices. It becomes like a chutney. I store the chutney in a jar and enjoy it throughout winter! It's a really special fruit!
Dude you’re so down to earth and knowledgeable! I love it! Thank you for all that you do! I’ve watched for maybe a year or so now and have never commented... I figured now was the moment! Hahaha thanks Bobby!🥰
Hey, maybe someone's thought of this already but if you blend up macadamia nuts with a tiny bit of water and some sea salt it makes an AMAZING sweet dessert with almost 0g carbs. Could even add cinnamon and/or chill it in the fridge if you wanted to be fancy 👍
Persimmoms is a fruit. Eat them when they’re somewhat soft- ripen. Once it’s ripen peel the skin and refrigerate for 15 mins. Its so good. Baby Rosie will enjoy it.
Hello neighbor! Michigan here, I've been following you for sooo long. You put out great content Bobby, I love your recipe's and shopping vids, Aldi is awesome too. I don't eat clean but I love learning the fact's for when I'm ready.
Eastern European actually eat with the skin on but if it’s not too thick! And cut it horizontally so you could see the star in the middle but don’t eat the top core!
@@jessicafung7565 that’s interesting! Will definitely try to cut it horizontally for my kids! They would love to see the star! Honestly never thought about eating the skin n will try it as well. Thank you for the tips!
You eat fuyu persimmons like you would an apple. You want them to be hard, but with some give. Some folks peel them but I don't. They are sweet and crunchy. TRY THEM!!!!!!
“Persimmons have a silky, slippery texture and taste kind of like the fabulous fruity love child of a mango and a roasted sweet pepper, with some cinnamon in the background. They are rich and tangy and sweet, all at the same time.” We have a persimmons tree in Southern California. My parents love just snacking on it by itself!
I LOVE 😍 that maple syrup!! I buy it at Trader Joe’s since Costco is too far from us! And persimmon is my all time favorite fruit since we had a persimmon tree in our backyard when I was growing up and I remember eating them straight from the tree when ripe!!! AMAZING! You can always throw them in smoothies too! Love your channel Bobby!!! I preach the same as you! Health is Wealth! ❤️❤️❤️ and Thrive Market rocks!!!! I share hauls or my fav from them as well!!! Give a kiss to sweet baby Rose from us!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have never tried or cooked with persimmons but I do use the seeds to predict the winter. if you cut a persimmon seed open and there is a knife shape that means it's going to be frigid stabbing cold. Spoon shape means there's going to be lots of snow. Fork shaped means slightly mild winter.
Thanks for ALL the amazing tips and advice! Recently discovered persimmons myself, as a neighbor came by with a bag of about 20 from an over-producing tree. Some people peel them, but not necessary. I enjoy them diced over oatmeal. Also, cubed or thinly sliced on a mandolin in a salad with arugula, beets and goat cheese...YUM!!!
The Fuyu persimmons you eat like an apple or add to a salad or create a persimmon salad. The Hachiya persimmons you have to allow to ripen until soft and can be eaten when ripe (don't eat green, you will have your tongue feeling weird) create a puree (freeze for future use). Very sweet & an interesting fall spice kinda flavor and great for baking. I always make persimmon cookies for my family when in season. Enjoy and hope this helps.
Bobby - I must thank you for introducing me to Laird Coffee Creamer! I had seen it at Costco before and ignored it - why?! I've been trying to reduce my dairy intake while on keto and haven't found a good creamy alternative to whipping cream added to coffee until this! I put 8 grams in my coffee and froth with an immersion blender every morning (only one cup though because it's 4 grams of carbs for the original) and it is amazing! I love it! Now that I know unsweetened exists I will be ordering that later on! I love your channel and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and advice! Cheers!
Bobby, thank you for the great content. I just became a Costco member and a Thrive Market member because of you. I am learning so, so much. Thank you again!!
Great place to shop at I worked for Costco 26 years retired now. Costco Warehouse 310 . On Long Island in New York. All these shopping at CostcoVideos that you do are Great Love your Channel. Have a good day...
Persimmons are a great fall fruit that my family and I look forward to. I simply peel and eat them. The texture is like an apple, but sweeter and no tartness. You can easily use it to bake desserts and warm, autumn spices compliment them. Also, you can slice them on a mandolin and dehydrate them for a chewy, sweet snack. FYI - Trader Joe's sometimes carries dried persimmon slices.
I have just been going through your videos. You and Al rock. Truly enjoy all your videos, very informative. Keep them coming and thank you both for all your work. 🌷🦋
Ooh and persimmons are popular among Asians and Italian. It taste like an apple/pear/pumpkin. You can just peel it up and eat it like a regular fruit. The more ripped it is, the sweeter the fruit is with a very unique taste. What I don’t like is how Costco package it in that plastic concoction when it’s not necessary. If they packet it in those green avocado net, it would have been fine.
There are two completely different persimmons. Don't get them confused! You were holding Fuyu Persimmons. Eat them hard like an apple like it was suggested. I never peel them. Have a hint of cinnamon. Yummy and crunchy. Treat it like an apple. The other one is shaped like a large tear drop. Called Hachiya. HAS TO BE SOFT, ALMOST MUSHY. If it's not like mush, your mouth with pucker!! But when it's ripe, I spoon out the inside and eat it like an amazing puddingish dessert. Don't get them confused. Eat Fuyu HARD (or it can also be a little soft) Eat Hachiya SOFT ONLY. (Usually find at special stores or a neighbor with a tree because they don't transport well) My family loves them! High in vitamins A and B and fiber.
I’m not going to lie the Costco here in LA has everything Bobby approve. We have the pasture raised eggs, the kerrygold butter unsalted and salted, the bourbon maple syrup, and etc.
Hi Bobby. Persimmons are a favourite fruit of mine. The variety you showed is the Fuyu. It is my favourite. Texture wise it is like a cross between an apple, a yam, and a tomato. Very unique, and very sweet . You have to be careful, the other variety which is more apple shaped, than flat, has to be eaten ripe or else it leaves a yucky feeling in your mouth. I prefer to eat the Fuyu when is a little hard. I like the texture more crisp. Thanks for your amazing content. I have learned so much from you!
Hey Bobby! Just want to let you know that I was shopping at Trader Joes about a week ago and a lady asked her child, "Is this Bobby approved?" All the way in San Dimas, CA. You are everywhere!!!
Persimmon is a really sweet fruit, you eat it raw. They’re really delicious and have a lot of vitamins and minerals in them. Quick tip, peel the skin before eating because it’s hard to digest if it’s not fully ripped.
Persimmons are fruit and asians love it (I’m asian🤗). Its technically seasonal fruit best in fall and eaten fresh/peeled. The variety you have is hard/crunchy but there are kinds that are soft but all should be very sweet. You will see variety of persimmons if you went to asian market.
Persimmons are delicious in salads! They add a little crunch and sweetness. Love them in light arugula salads with a citrus vinaigrette, goat cheese, and toasted walnuts or almonds.
Persimmons are really tasty ....when it’s not ripen it’s crunchy like an apple. You peeled the skin and cut it like wedges and eat. Inside near the seed it’s extra crunchy and jelly like. I think rose honey will like it. Another way to eat is you ripening till it’s soft to touch from the outside then you peel it like it a boiled tomatoes and then you can enjoy the super sweet juicy soft persimmons. Try it ! I think you will like it
Persimmons are great to add to salad greens along with apples, nuts, crumbled cheese of some sort and dried fruit. They are also delicious on their own eaten like an apple.
Those were fuyu persimmons. They are for fresh eating. Sweet and crunchy. Hachiya persimmons area s different variety. They're used for cooking/baking. They need to be super soft otherwise they're very astringent and inedible.
Got your and Dessi's first cook book in today from Amazon and WOW! I have been cooking keto meals for my family and clients (I work in a commercial kitchen) for 5 years and your cook book is full of new recipes that I have not made before - hard for me to find that! I pre-ordered your next cook as well. You all are such true gems and I thank you for all that you do. I read that the Food Network passed on you and BOY are they regretting that now! Carry on!! #madlove #keeponcooking #flavcityfamily
Fuyu Persimmons are good to eat by itself. You can wait until they’re soft, peel then eat. Or, I like to eat them when they’re a little firmer, peel them eat. I like to eat them cold from the fridge, but room temperature is not bad either. You should try them and I think you’ll enjoy them. Happy eating! Also, make sure you only get the Fuyu Persimmon variety.
Omgoodness I had no idea you had a “Bobby approved” ebook! I must’ve missed that one! I’m So excited to use it as my “right hand “ food shopping guide source ! Thank you so much Bobby and fam!!!
been binge watching your videos love it.... I also LOVE that your from Chicago... Cuz i know i can go to the same stores! Thats MY COSTCO TOO! I have learned so much! Thanks for all your passion and for teaching us better alternatives
Maybe it's a Cali thing but I look forward to them every fall. Give persimmons a try. Eat them raw like a sliced apple, make a salsa out of them, use them like a crudites with cheese or a dip, add to salads, make a jam, make a bread. They are really pretty as well. Just be sure they are ripe or they can be very astringent.
persimmons: The Fuyu variety shown can be cut and eaten raw. Once softer, can be used in any baking (cakes, cookies) to have a very tender and yummy spice cake/cookie textures. Stellar added to english type steamed puddings. Can be dehydrated for a wonderful chewy dried fruit (a Japanese treat!). Can canned into a jelly/jam; or! Cook with cranberries for a wonderful side dish for turkey or spread for turkey sandwiches.
I finally bought the Lakonto Sweetner, the Moon Cheese and the Wild Salmon at Costco like you recommended. Very pleased with the Rao's Sauce too! Happy Dance!
There is 2 version of Persimmon. One that looks like Roma tomatoes but with an orange skin. The one in the video I normally peel the skin and eat it. I’ve made it into a jam as well as substitute the sugar in pecan pie. It’s has a maple like sweetness. Thank you for providing us with such great content.
We LOVE to eat persimmons, just as you’d eat an apple! That’s the norm in the Slavic community and we buy usually a 25 pound box and eat it through the winter season. Can wait to get some in upcoming week! However, I have heard some make only pies out of them 🤷♀️
Persimmons are one of my favorite fruits to just eat. I personally like to peel the skin before I eat it. I prefer it when it's still crunchy. Sometimes I like baking with it in a muffin or pie.
Those persimmons are good for eating like an apple. They taste really good and are very dense, more than an apple. I had a client who had a tree and brought them to me every year and I gorged on them.
I am so sad that Costco in Clearwater FL doesn’t carry half of the stuff as in this video. Since I started watching your videos, I have started incorporating lots of healthy choices you have suggested. My husband always gives me look when I bring some new items like that Lairds coffee cream with functional mushrooms. He was like “ what a heck is this?”😂
Eat Persimmons as fruit. It’s delicious and sweet. You can eat when they are firm and crunchy or when they turn soft and juicy. We have wild king salmons at our Costco in Issaquah WA.
Persimmon, you eat it as fruit. There are 2 types: crispy and soft. That shape will be crispy and the longer shape will be soft. If it's not sweet then its not ready to eat. Peel off the skin before you eat.
You can eat persimmon as a fruit but I like it when it’s ripe. It takes a long time but in Korea they peel and air dry them for a while then the outside is chewy and inside is soft and sweet. There’s a juicier kind of persimmon that you can wait till it’s super ripe then freeze it just until it becomes like sorbet. That’s very good too
I love Japanese FUYU Persimmons before they are VERY SWEET and firm to eat. They are fruits! All you have to do is to peal off the skins and eat them while they are firm. We have a FUYU fruit tree in our backyard and it’s given LOTS of persimmons. There are other kind of persimmons out there in the market but they have to be fully ripe, i.e. soft to almost mushy, before you can eat them.
Hey Bobby, Since you asked, we often have Wild King Salmon in the Costco in Issaquah, Redmond and others around Seattle during the winter months. Those and fresh Alaskan King Crabs are my go-to splurge options during the holidays. Unfortunately we still don't have the A5 Wagyu; been checking every week.
I had to look a few times to make sure the fruit is caqui and it is! You just eat it, very very popular in Brazil, they are very sweet, so yummy! Hopefully they will come up to Canada! 😊
My mother’s father was English and they lived in NC where I also live and they had a persimmon tree in their yard. As a young girl she told me how he would have her make a persimmon pudding ! I googled it and there are recipes. I kind of remember something she told me either she made it so often that they got sick of having it and/or it could be very tart! Fun to remember that story for me!
Hi Bobby! We normally just eat the persimmons as fruit. At least that’s the only way I have grown up eaten it. They are delicious! There are actually two types of persimmons, one of them is the hard type like the one in Costco and the other one is different shape and they are extremely soft.
Just some feedback. Your roots if doing these reviews, especially at Costco, Trader Joe’s, Walmart etc, is what drew me in the first place and the videos I watch now . While I understand you want to branch out, I hope you continue these.
Big fan here. Have to comment on the persimmon: live in TX, my Costco always has persimmon in fall/winter season. What Costco has is the only kind persimmon you can eat as apple ( I always peel off the skin ), sweet and crispy. The other kind persimmons you have to wait until they are fully ripe, but the texture would be super soft and sweet for me. Btw, dried persimmon is also super delicious.
I LOVE how he doesn’t care about people staring at him at all, and talks to the camera like he’s talking to a real person! Lol
Same here!! 🙌😂😂
Persimmons are a fruit. I just eat them like an apple. They taste amazing especially when ripe!
Ditto
Exactly! 👍
Yep, I love them growing up in Brazil. I've got a tree in CA and last year had over 80+ fruit. This year 0😂.
I just eat as a fruit. My mother in law makes cookies. Either way fantastic fruit.
Foyu is the best IMO but you really have to wait until they are soft and red like a tomato.
Love this fruit, and there're different varieties. All of which are delicious.
Yes, persimmons are crunchy or custard-like. 😋

I just discovered a persimmon tree in my back yard. Little, itty bitty persimmons, but they taste great!
I actually prefer those over the sweet ones. I just wash them, peel the skin, cut in pieces and eat them.
It is too sweet you’re right but so enoyable lol
I remove the skin before eating. People also put them in salads the way you would put apples in a Waldorf salad.
Persimmons are a great fruit. My mom grows them in her backyard. You can slice and eat them just the way they are. You can also chop it up and put it in your salad. It has a sweet taste to it.

I have a Fuyu persimmon tree and we love the fruits. You can eat it when it's still crunchy just like an apple. Great in salads. When it's all soft, you can put it in kefir, yogurt, yumm! When I have too many, I slice them up and dehydrate them after marinating them in lemon juice and ginger! Lastly, for the really ripened soft fruits, I slow cook them on the stove with a bit of water, ginger, spices. It becomes like a chutney. I store the chutney in a jar and enjoy it throughout winter! It's a really special fruit!

Bobby Parrish, never disappoints, never
Hey, maybe someone's thought of this already but if you blend up macadamia nuts with a tiny bit of water and some sea salt it makes an AMAZING sweet dessert with almost 0g carbs. Could even add cinnamon and/or chill it in the fridge if you wanted to be fancy 👍
We all love you 😍 thanks for all the help you give. You make this healthy journey fun and stress free 😊

Persimmon - remove the outer shell, eat fresh, no cooking required. it is sweet and taste great.
Persimmons are a sweet fruit that you just peel, cut, and eat. They are delicious 😋
Eastern European actually eat with the skin on but if it’s not too thick! And cut it horizontally so you could see the star in the middle but don’t eat the top core!

I don't peel them either. They are delish
wow, i had no idea! thanks
I loved them as a kid, tried again as an adult and the nostalgia was over.
You should try them. Eat them like an apple
I peel them. I believe most Japanese peel them. Dried persimmons are also delicious!!!

We have unsalted Kerry Gold butter in NJ Costco.
Wish we did, I was thinking I need to request after this video
We do? I've never seen unsalted here in central Jersey. I'll look again next trip
South FL has them both as well...
Which Costco?
Jealous!
Persimmons (flat bottom ones) - peel & eat them like apples. We also dehydrate them as slices like fruit snacks.
Fuyu Persimmon is eaten just as you would eat a crunchy apple.
Hayicha Persimmon is ripened till it's very soft and it's usually used for baking.

Hi Bobby, Persimmons are a staple Asian fall fruit, you can eat them when ripe after peeling or use them in salads to add sweet flavor.
We buy wild caught Alaskan King Salmon at our Costco’s in Phoenix. We have 3 Costco’s with 7 miles of our home.
We only have 1 Costco in my county. ( mercer nj )
Persimmons are a great fall fruit that my family and I look forward to. I simply peel and eat them. The texture is like an apple, but sweeter and no tartness.

Persimmons might be the best fruit on the planet! Must Try ❤️
Persimmon is a really sweet fruit, you eat it raw. They’re really delicious and have a lot of vitamins and minerals in them. Quick tip, peel the skin before eating because it’s hard to digest if it’s not fully ripped.
Yes we have a choice between the silver box and the gold one of the butter! We prefer the salted one!
Persimmons are fruit and asians love it (I’m asian🤗). Its technically seasonal fruit best in fall and eaten fresh/peeled. The variety you have is hard/crunchy but there are kinds that are soft but all should be very sweet. You will see variety of persimmons if you went to asian market.
Persimmons is fruit high in potassium and fall fruit, you take iff the peel and eat it, it is sweet and delicious
It is a fruit that has lots of fibre and also excellent source of antioxidants. Very sweet - eat it as a fruit and also mix it in a salad.
That was PERFECT timing at the end!!!
Persimmons are delicious in salads! They add a little crunch and sweetness. Love them in light arugula salads with a citrus vinaigrette, goat cheese, and toasted walnuts or almonds.
Persimmons is a very sweet fruit that you can just peel and eat as a snack. You can also make a no bake flan with it as it has a natural gelatin.
Persimmons are really tasty ....when it’s not ripen it’s crunchy like an apple. You peeled the skin and cut it like wedges and eat. Inside near the seed it’s extra crunchy and jelly like.

Persimmon is just a fruit or you can put them with apple so they can quickly become incredibly soft. You can dry those soft one into persimmon cake.

persimmons: The Fuyu variety shown can be cut and eaten raw. Once softer, can be used in any baking (cakes, cookies) to have a very tender and yummy spice cake/cookie textures. Stellar added to english type steamed puddings. Can be dehydrated for a wonderful chewy dried fruit (a Japanese treat!). Can canned into a jelly/jam; or! Cook with cranberries for a wonderful side dish for turkey or spread for turkey sandwiches.
Omgeeee, husband just asked about the Japanese steaks,"Wonder what happens to the ones they don't sell."
I finally bought the Lakonto Sweetner, the Moon Cheese and the Wild Salmon at Costco like you recommended. Very pleased with the Rao's Sauce too! Happy Dance!
If you ever find Rao pasta, spaghetti, get it! I get it at local supermarket and it’s awesome especially with their sauce.
There is 2 version of Persimmon. One that looks like Roma tomatoes but with an orange skin.
The one in the video I normally peel the skin and eat it. I’ve made it into a jam as well as substitute the sugar in pecan pie. It’s has a maple like sweetness.
Thank you for providing us with such great content.
I always buy persimmons! When they ripen they are so tasty to eat just like a fruit , fresh.
We LOVE to eat persimmons, just as you’d eat an apple! That’s the norm in the Slavic community and we buy usually a 25 pound box and eat it through the winter season. Can wait to get some in upcoming week! However, I have heard some make only pies out of them 🤷♀️
In Japan, they dry/dehydrate persimmons. They become super sweet like a raisin once you do this
We have organic pasture raised eggs in Nashville but no bourbon maple syrup. We also have your fav Avocado oil as well
Persimmon pudding for Christmas is the best!
Persimmons are one of my favorite fruits to just eat. I personally like to peel the skin before I eat it. I prefer it when it's still crunchy. Sometimes I like baking with it in a muffin or pie.
Those persimmons are good for eating like an apple. They taste really good and are very dense, more than an apple. I had a client who had a tree and brought them to me every year and I gorged on them.
Yummm. Persimmons thinly slice then add cheese on top or humus or cut up tiny pieces into icecream. Yummmmmmm
I am so sad that Costco in Clearwater FL doesn’t carry half of the stuff as in this video. Since I started watching your videos, I have started incorporating lots of healthy choices you have suggested. My husband always gives me look when I bring some new items like that Lairds coffee cream with functional mushrooms. He was like “ what a heck is this?”😂
Eat Persimmons as fruit. It’s delicious and sweet. You can eat when they are firm and crunchy or when they turn soft and juicy. We have wild king salmons at our Costco in Issaquah WA.
Re: Persimmons...I eat them like an apple with or without the skin. I also cook and bake with them.
Persimmon, you eat it as fruit. There are 2 types: crispy and soft. That shape will be crispy and the longer shape will be soft. If it's not sweet then its not ready to eat. Peel off the skin before you eat.
More Costco! Thanks for doing the work for us
enjoy persimmons as fruit (sweeter if ripe) or add to salad (any salad you would add fruit to.)
You can eat persimmon as a fruit but I like it when it’s ripe. It takes a long time but in Korea they peel and air dry them for a while then the outside is chewy and inside is soft and sweet. There’s a juicier kind of persimmon that you can wait till it’s super ripe then freeze it just until it becomes like sorbet. That’s very good too
I love Japanese FUYU Persimmons before they are VERY SWEET and firm to eat. They are fruits! All you have to do is to peal off the skins and eat them while they are firm. We have a FUYU fruit tree in our backyard and it’s given LOTS of persimmons. There are other kind of persimmons out there in the market but they have to be fully ripe, i.e. soft to almost mushy, before you can eat them.
Thank you!!! You always save me time. I only go and grab stuff🎃🎃🎃
baking with persimmons are the best. Love persimmon cookies
Giada has a great pumpkin persimmon pie recipe. To die for!
Persimmons are a delicious fruit, when ripe
Persimmons are a fruit that you eat like an apple, I do however like to peel them. They are my favorite fruit especially in the fall!
Hey Bobby,
Since you asked, we often have Wild King Salmon in the Costco in Issaquah, Redmond and others around Seattle during the winter months. Those and fresh Alaskan King Crabs are my go-to splurge options during the holidays. Unfortunately we still don't have the A5 Wagyu; been checking every week.
I had to look a few times to make sure the fruit is caqui and it is! You just eat it, very very popular in Brazil, they are very sweet, so yummy! Hopefully they will come up to Canada! 😊
Persimmon is a fruit, its really good when it starts feeling a little soft to the touch.
Love it when you get in Costco. Going there this Friday.... Thanks. Very helpful.
My mother’s father was English and they lived in NC where I also live and they had a persimmon tree in their yard. As a young girl she told me how he would have her make a persimmon pudding ! I googled it and there are recipes. I kind of remember something she told me either she made it so often that they got sick of having it and/or it could be very tart! Fun to remember that story for me!
Hi Bobby! We normally just eat the persimmons as fruit. At least that’s the only way I have grown up eaten it. They are delicious! There are actually two types of persimmons, one of them is the hard type like the one in Costco and the other one is different shape and they are extremely soft.
Hi Bobby! We eat the persimmons raw as a fruit. It’s also perfect for a fall arugula salad! Delish!!!
Just some feedback. Your roots if doing these reviews, especially at Costco, Trader Joe’s, Walmart etc, is what drew me in the first place and the videos I watch now . While I understand you want to branch out, I hope you continue these.
Peel persimmon and eat. Really good!! You have to try!!
My Southern grandmother always made persimmon pudding. Oh the memories!
Big fan here. Have to comment on the persimmon: live in TX, my Costco always has persimmon in fall/winter season. What Costco has is the only kind persimmon you can eat as apple ( I always peel off the skin ), sweet and crispy. The other kind persimmons you have to wait until they are fully ripe, but the texture would be super soft and sweet for me. Btw, dried persimmon is also super delicious.
You can get crown syrup at Homegoods sometimes. One time they had a huge 32 ounce jug.
