Green Persimmons

The Persimmon is one of my favorate fruits.    

The Persimmon fruits are only available in the late fall.

Summer is the time when the green fruits appear, seeing them means there will be goodies coming up in a few months.

Don't be tempted by the green persimmon fruits because they will make your tongue feel "weird" because it has tannins in the unripe fruit.       According to google:
"Tannins are astringent, so when you take a bite of an unripe persimmon your mouth will feel very dry. Tannins are actually a natural antioxidant, which means that this fruit is great for your health.
