The persimmon tree, a tree of the Ebenaceae family, originates in China, Korea and Japan. By allusion to the color of the fruit, persimmon in Japanese means dark yellow. Persimmon should only be eaten when completely ripe because, green, it is astringent. Ripe, it is a very healthy and rich fruit, both for its content in salts and vitamins, and for its carbohydrate content. It is particularly suitable for children, and is very suitable for convalescents.
