Small persimmons under a mass of cirrocumulus
This kind is astringent and not suitable to eat raw even when its fruits are fully ripe. People peel and hang them under the eaves for three weeks. Dried ones are very sweet.
I found cosmos flowers. I love to see them. What makes you feel that you are in Autumn?
The cosmos is gorgeous, photo of it so good. The persimmons look good underneath those clouds too.

ReplyDeleteI never knew that fact about persimmons and the cosmos blooms are beautiful! Autumn here is marked by the changing leaf colors. Blessings!
ReplyDelete好多柿子喔，太吸引我🤩
ReplyDeleteHello RTC, In Ohio and similar cold areas in the U.S. persimmons will persist on the trees until there are several frosts, when they will soften and sweeten. Some people think the freezing is important, but more likely it just slows down the ripening process, which also eliminates the astringency. Persimmons are easily preserved, and do not rot on the trees in the same ways as apples and other more watery fruits do.

It's true that ripe persimmons are very sweet, but if they are not, due to their high content of soluble tannins, they are very astringent in the mouth.
ReplyDelete早晨，美麗的大自然！
ReplyDeleteI've only heard of persimmons; I've never had the opportunity to eat them. As you wrote, they're only good and sweet when dried. Generally, plums, for example, are dried here, but I prefer them straight from the tree. Best regards.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the variety of persimmon are those? The cosmos looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs and so nice to see the cosmos flowers.
ReplyDeleteSending good wishes.
All the best Jan

I'm glad you are having good Autumn days. What a wonderful persimmon tree you came across. I've had persimmon cookies before, they're really good. And what a pretty picture of the cosmos flowers. Thank you for sharing your area with us. I enjoy learning about it.
