Great question and it's really personal preference. I do not eat the skin of the baking (Hachiya) persimmons. I just don't like the texture.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Fuyu Persimmons (the ones that look like a tomato that you can eat raw) taste great to me and have a similar texture to an apple skin. It's really your preference. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e
