  Venezuelan Níspero
by atufft
 
 

Known in English as the persimmon, the níspero found in Venezuela is a smaller fruit variety, with a slight furry brown skin, similar in appearance to the kiwi. The inside fruit is a molassas brown color with a flavor reminiscent of a molassas-chocolate. Like the persimmon in the USA, a good níspero is hard to find, but worth looking for and like the North American varieties, must be eaten very ripe else will be astringent on the palate. This fruit is wonderful as it is, but is also used to make cakes and cookies.
