persimmon
Persimmon is a bright orange fall fruit and it's known for its unique taste, and jelly-like texture when ripe. There are two main types of persimmons: astringent and non-astringent. Persimmons are the national fruit of Japan.
Examples:
- We picked a basketful of persimmons from the tree in my aunt's backyard.
- Since the persimmons weren't quite soft yet, my mom sliced them thinly and added them to my salad.
- My grandmother's recipe for persimmon pudding uses a secret blend of spices.
