What Do You Do With A Persimmon?
Persimmons can be eaten raw or cooked depending on their ripeness. Soft and ripe persimmons are sweet and can be eaten as a snack or used in desserts like puddings, pies, and cakes. Firm persimmons can be peeled, sliced, and added to salads or used as a substitute for tomatoes in salsa. They can also be used to make jams, jellies, and sauces. In some cultures, persimmons are dried and used as a snack or ingredient in teas and soups.
