3. What is the difference between persimmon, persimmon and sharon?
-
The fruit that resembles a flat tomato is also called sharon fruit or persimmon. Persimmon is another name for persimmon fruit. The most common type of kaki is sharon. Sharon is a refined, seedless kaki variety that was developed in Israel. The sharon is sweet and can be eaten firm or overripe. Other types of persimmons often contain seeds and, due to the large amount of tannic acid (tannic acid) in the unripe variety, can only be eaten overripe. The different types of persimmons are difficult to distinguish from the outside, but in Dutch supermarkets especially encounter the sharon.
