Dried Persimmon Geography History
Dried Persimmons are made from varieties of Diospyros Kaki, also known as Asian or Oriental persimmons, native to China, where they have been cultivated for centuries. The astringent fruits were given as gifts to the imperial court in China during the Han Dynasty, 202 BCE to 220 CE, and were eventually spread to Korea and Japan sometime before the 7th century. The first recorded documentation of Dried Persimmons in Japan was in a historical text written during the Heian Era, sometime from 794 to 1185 CE. By the 10th century, dried persimmons were extensively cultivated throughout East Asia. The preserved fruits were also introduced to America in 1870 when the USDA planted persimmon trees in California, Georgia, and Florida. As Japanese and Chinese immigrants settled into the San Joaquin Valley and Northern California, they also brought the traditional practices of drying persimmons. Today Dried Persimmons are widely grown throughout East Asia in Japan, China, Korea, and Vietnam and are primary found through fresh markets and local growers. The fruits are also cultivated in California and are sold through farmer's markets and distributors as a limited release.
