Sharon Fruit
(Persimmons) or Seei |
|
Sharon Fruit is technically a specific variety
of Persimmon, although we tend to use both names
interchangeably.
In Canton this fruit is known as 'Seei' regardless
of variety.
Sharon Fruit tend to be available all year round,
but are more plentiful and cheaper during all
the summer months.
You can buy them at any wet market or supermarket,
choosing those that are slightly soft to the touch.
To eat them, simply press your thumbnails into
the crown and pull apart (As pictured right).
Eat the insides only, spitting out anything unpalatable
(Pith, seeds, etc).
It is likely the skins of these fruits have been
sprayed repeatedly with all manner of nasty chemicals.
Therefore we advise you to wash the skins well
before presenting to guests. It would probably
be wise of you to make sure you do not ingest
any of the skin also. |
