There is a saying: "You look like you've just bitten into a green persimmon" because it triggers a pucker up reflex.They have very large seeds, that take up most of the space in the fruit, or they would make a decent human food.There are some tame persimmons that have more flesh than seed that can be raised for a fruit for human consumption.In the wild, persimmons give wildlife a good source of vitamin C. Persimmon trees heavy with fruit are an attractive sight, as well.in Israel we have developed a seedless persimmon called triomph
