Reply to comment by kdani17 in Where to find American Persimmons in the Harrisburg area by TheAJGman

American Persimmons? I've only ever seen Asian varieties in stores. Serves me right for not being obsessed with Trader Joe's like everyone else.

EDIT: according to the website they only have Fuyu.

I’m sorry. I didn’t know there was a difference. I’ve never seen or heard of American Persimmons.

The difference I see is that the Asian ones are sweet enough to eat like a plum. The American variety is more astringent, but good for baking, jam, etc.
