Persimmons (Sharon Fruit, Kaki etc.) anyone tried them?

It says age 1.

That puts you at minus 87 then???:D

Or is that 23 mins past 7

 

I bought one of these in Morrisons today, larger that the ones I've tried before, they had them as well.

Anyway, I think they are very juicy, and sweet.
Usual problem though, absolutely tasteless.

 

I found this when they had been artificially ripened by freezing

 

I feel the need to point out that rhubarb is actually from China and they mostly think where nuts for eating it (click the link above the video from where I found out Rhubarb was from)

 

I just learned that this fruit does not fall once ripened, but stays on the tree until it is rotten.

 

bought some guavas today from an Indian spice shop ... 50 pence each

have not had these for a long time (never seen them in the UK)

one of my best fruits

 

Bargain,

Aren't those the swimming lizzards that live in the Galapagos Islands though?

 

Those are Iguanas Ziggy as I'm sure you knew

 

sounds like a lizard ... but a really tasty fruit

supposed to be one of the top 'superfoods' .... the south african ones have a different colour on the inside but taste exactly the same as the ones from India (the ones I bought today) ... you eat it with the outer skin

Guava 'the ultimate superfood' - Telegraph

these are what the south afican ones look like .... the ones I had today are a bit lighter in colour on the inside .... you eat the pips aswell

 

I was getting "tired and emotional"

Someone on a another forum I frequent has posted some photos from a market where they live (Nicaragua)
