The larger persimmons that get very very soft when ripening always make me feel sick if they are not totally ripe and/or I eat parts near the top. The variety that has the astringent quality that makes your mouth feel weird is the one I am talking about. It seems to only happen when i eat near the stem/green flower portion. Hope this helps.
