PersimmonA persimmon is the edible fruit of
a number of species of trees in the genus Diospyros
in the ebony wood family (Ebenaceae). The word Diospyros
means "the fruit of the gods" in ancient
Greek. As a tree, it is a perennial plant. The word
persimmon is derived from putchamin, pasiminan,
or pessamin, from Powhatan, an Algonquian language
(related to Blackfoot, Cree and Mohican) of the
eastern United States, meaning "a dry fruit".
Persimmons are generally light yellow-orange to
dark red-orange in color, and depending on the species,
vary in size from 1.5 to 9 cm (0.5 to 4 in)
in diameter, and may be spherical, acorn-, or pumpkin-shaped.
The calyx often remains attached to the fruit after
harvesting, but becomes easier to remove as it ripens.
They are high in glucose, with a balanced protein
profile, and possess various medicinal and chemical
uses. (Source: Wikipedia.org)
