Persimons, sharon fruit, kaki

These are all one and the same fruit. I bought a couple today as they were on special offer, but don't know what to do with them. Has anyone tried them, do you eat the skin as well like an apple, any ideas on uses welcomed

    Eat everything including the skin. I love mine soft when it's over ripe.

    Hi all,

    this is a really stupid question, I know, but how do you eat sharon fruit? Do you eat it whole or peel it first? I got some at Morrisons cheap but I've never had them before!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Hi Ames,

    You just eat sharon fruit in the same way as you would an apple or a peach. There was a recent thread on the same topic so I'll add your post to it to keep the replies together.

    I must admit that I cut it up with a knife, then eat it. Sometimes there's a more fibrous at in the middle, (similar to an orange) that I cut out. Now I've started to eat them, I get them on a regular basis. Here in Spain they are not so expensive as in UK and are about the size of an orange
