Persomans? (sp??) Those dark orange fruits right? Yes I have tried them. There are two kinds. One is crunchy, sweet, and not dry. That one is great. The other, if eaten before totally ripen, is DRY DRY DRY! OMG! It makes your mouth so dry that it feels like you have no water left in your body. Its NASTY. But try it when it is so ripe the juice spills all over. You'd think its a fruit from heaven. One of our neighbors has two persoman trees in her backyard and gives them to us ALL the time. I hate when they are dry and nasty, but onces they become so soft and juicy, they are DELICIOUS. I LOVE them. You must have tried a nasty dry one. YUCK. My dad ate one of those the first time he ate them, and now he won't believe us that they are good when ripe. He won't touch them. :rolleyes: They are extremely good for your health too. Maybe try a well ripe soft and juicy one this summer and you might change your opinion. :)
