Kaki, also called Persimmon, originated in China. It is among the oldest cultivated plants. It has been known to be used in China for over 2,00 years. The word ‘kaki’ was borrowed from the Japanese kaki no ki, literally kaki tree. It was first introduced to Europe as an ornamental plant, but around 1860, Kaki began to be known as a delicious fruit fit for consumption. Kaki requires full sun to fully mature and ripen. It is yellow-orange, thin-skinned rounded fruit with slightly flattened end. Its pulp is orange, sometimes reddish. The flavours of the Kaki is rich and sweet. its texture is marvellously soft and unctuous.
