The market that i explored was the St. Lawrence market and the reason why i explored that market because at St. Lawrence market there is a verity of fruits and a large selection of meats, cheese, and bread. How i choose my fruit was by looking for something unfamiliar and something that has a nice bright colour. what i avoid is fruits with bruises and dark spots. The persimmon is from Ebony family and size can be from 1.5 cm to 9 cm in diameter. The American persimmon is grown in eastern United states like California and ripens late in the year. The marketing price for the persimmon is $1.00/lb. The persimmon has a sweet taste and has a bright orange colour both outside and inside of the fruit. The fruit has a firm texture like a nectarine. The persimmon tastes like a combination of a mango and apple. What makes the persimmon unique is that it has not sour or acidic taste. A cooking method i would use for the persimmon is baking is say this because persimmon is sweet and would work well with desserts.
What i learn from this experience is that the persimmon a sweet fruit and can been grown in many different regions.
