    Japan and China also have tradition of drying them

    Southern United States here. We dried about half of what we harvested and made pulp out of the rest my entire childhood. I’m in my thirties so it wasn’t yesterday, but not forever ago either. Someone is probably still practicing that here.

  3. It’s pretty common in other East Asian countries but Korea has capitalized on it better

    Northern US yankee here- I do not know anyone in my area that does this nor have I ever seen them grown here.

    I had them in Western Australia, worked on a farm that had a persimmon tree. The ones we made were drier, almost jerky-like.

    Southern CA, my Korean mom does this with her yearly persimmon harvest.

    They eat dry persimmon in the Middle East. Actually it’s where I first think of when I think of persimmon.

    How do you eat this? Or what do you do with it?
