Persimmons. I know they're available at least in the bay area because I had them when I lived there briefly, but have never found them in my regular home in the pacific northwest. I also don't remember them as a kid growing up in Tennessee.
I get them in Texas from the Korean market. I don't know that they're available year round though.
I'd be surprised if you couldn't find any via Asian markets in the Pacific Northwest.
Oooh I haven't checked there, thank you!
I keep thinking back to this. I believe persimmons are in season in the fall, so if you don't find them now, go back in a few months and you should have better luck.
Those are very late season fruit. I wasn't aware they weren't available up north. Look for them starting in October, I think.
We have persimmons in Michigan
Note that there are two different cultivars I've seen sold in the Bay Area.
-
Fuyu. These are typically eaten crunchy (and are so even when ripe), like an apple. They look kind of like a tomato, are short and wide.
-
Hachiya. There are very soft, almost a jell-o consistency, when ripe, and are very fragile. My dad used to grow them in his backyard.
