text: The Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is different from the persimmon that is native to the U.S. because it is not astringent and can be eaten when ripe rather than in the fermentation stage (American persimmons taste best after being hit by frost and they begin to decay), according to experts at Purdue University.
