In Ningde, China, the persimmon harvest is in full swing. Historically, China predominantly cultivated the original Asian variety of this fruit, which is generally known as persimmon. However, a specific type of persimmon from Spain is rapidly gaining popularity in China. Unlike the original persimmon, which has a tough skin and is not as enjoyable to eat, this Spanish breed of persimmon allows you to simply bite into it, much like an apple.
