Have you ever tried an Asian persimmon? 🍊🤔 There are two kinds 👇 🍎 Non-astringent (like Fuyu) — you can eat them firm, just like an apple 🥭 Astringent (like Hachiya) — need to be super soft before they’re sweet and ready! They’re beautiful, easy to grow, and almost completely pest free 🌳🙌 Perfect for growers in zones 7–10, with a few hardy varieties that can even handle zone 6 🥶💪 One of the most underrated fruit trees you can plant! 🌱✨ Would you try growing one in your backyard? 👇 #ga

I’m nervous about kahm yeast, so I’ll leave it be for a few weeks, undisturbed. The watermelon vinegar I started in August fell victim to KY. I’ll share more on that next episode. #fermentation #vinegar #foodscience | Kia Cooks | Facebook
