The American Persimmon grows wild but has been
cultivated for its fruit and wood since prehistoric
times by Native Americans. It's fruit, when consumed
fully ripe, has a pudding-like texture and a sweet
flavor resembling caramel and butterscotch. Unless
consumed fully ripe, it is extremely astringent.
Historically, it has been used to make puddings,
breads, preserves and even beer!
