The
persimmon
should
be
well
shaped,
plump,
smooth,
highly
colored,
with
unbroken
skin,
and
stem
cap
attached.
It
is
desirable
to
select
fruits
that
are
soft
as
jelly,
scented
and
ready
to
eat.
It
is
sometimes
impossible
to
sell
the
persimmons
on
the
retail
market
at
this
stage
of
ripeness
due
to
the
damage
that
occurs
from
handling
by
the
retail
consumer.
When
buying,
select
firm
fully
colored
persimmons,
and
hold
them
at
room
temperature
until
the
are
soft,
or
ripen
by
placing
them
in
a
plastic
bag
with
ripe
apple
