Thank you for your kind words, you're very sweet :)<br /><br />Katie — it is definitely worth a try. Especially in this salad, it's delicious!<br /><br />Ondina Maria — here I have seen only one kind. They are not super hard nor super soft. When they ripen though they become squidgy but when they are firm they are still sweet.

Th soft ones I normally scoop into a bowl and mix with a punch of cinnamon - absolutely divine - or use them for cakes. The apple persimmons are mostly eaten in salads - together with beet, arugula, pomegranate and goat cheese they are perfect!

I love your pairing of persimmon, fennel, and white balsamic. This is a must try! I usually pass up persimmon in the market simply because it's not so common in the US so I haven't worked with it much. But it's abundant here so thank you for the encouragement to try it!Katie @ Whole Nourishmenthttp://wholenourishment.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998452736393635440.post-47691586255442129602013-12-06T02:03:19.182+01:002013-12-06T02:03:19.182+01:00Love persimmon!
