Kaki fruit, also known as persimmons, can be eaten raw or cooked. To eat raw, the top leaf must be removed, then the flesh can be removed from the skin by scooping it out of the fruit or the skin can also be eaten. The flesh inside the fruit can be firm if slightly unripe, or mushy when fully ripened with a sweet and tangy flavour. Kaki fruits have double the health benefits than a common apple so why not try a new fruit in your fruit bowl this week?
