The Sharon fruit like many others is not originally from Is China, But yes it is grown in israel well and is part of the israeli culture I can guess (Israelis eat lots of veg and fruit from breakfast till night time)
I never ate it-not sure why- probably as being fussy with food but I had a a tree in one of the gardens that We maintained and studied a bit about fruit here is a bit for you Cat -especially
The name in English is Persimmon, popular in jappan and china as commercial plantations and today in Italy Brazil Argentina Spain and more. It is Usually eaten fresh and the main worldwide trading of this fruit is, true Cat, from Israel. In some countries is eaten dry.
Yes main problem is to make it ready to eat, some varieties you can not eat the fruit Unless it is really soft the fruits usually picked before there are ripe -and get artificial ripening. The fruit are fully ripe when they are fully orange color. In one of the varieties (triomf) you can keep it under water for three days, change the water daily and keep it for day or two-out the water.
I know it sounds mad- I just read about it now- so another way is to freeze it -and can actually keep it frozen few month .
It is full of keratin (vitamin A) 2 fruits are contain more than daily recommended amount.
The main thing I remember is that It is not good to eat more than 2 a day (not sure what the tummy effect)
from gardening point of view , Deciduous small tree -needs some cold weather. nice big leaves that turn to red at Autumn, It can produce fruits after about 4 years .
Thats all
for now
It is good for cooking, jam and so.
