Persimmon [per-simmon]

This large tropical fruit resembles a tomato that’s been over-doing the fake tan. The thick skin is green when young, but turns a yellowy-orange as it matures. Inside are a juicy, sweet pulp and apple-like seeds.  You can eat the skin only when it is very ripe otherwise peel it. The Israeli Sharon fruit is the best known of three main varieties.
