Kaki

you can get it this time of year (early winter time) in the supermarket, now they are properly ripe. It looks like its falling apart, but in order to taste good it has to look like it. If they still look all nice and pretty then they will not taste good yet. It tastes sweeter then kiwi, its sort of like sweet soft jelly :) But it has to well ripe as it can taste very tart otherwise.

Well its rather hard to describe it. It looks very much like an orange tomato, insides are very soft and fibrous texture, kind of thick pulpy jelly encased in a waxy thin skinned shell..you do not eat skin, it tastes really sweet but if not properly ripe they are not eatable as they taste rather tart. I like it raw, but they also dry it...I dont like those. They grow in mild areas, not too hot but not to cold either, here they grow in mediterian, near the coasts, so in quite mild, warm weather. Compared to kiwi this fruit is much more sweeter, kiwi has a bit of bitterness in it, but kaki, when properly ripe, has none. And is much more softer on the inside, sort of jelly like, you have to eat it with spoon you cant eat it otherwise really.
