There are two kinds of persimmon: Asian and American. Native Americans have used the American persimmon, Diospyros virginiana, for centuries, either eaten dry or baked into bread.
American persimmons tend to grow wild, rather than being cultivated. Diospyros kaki, the Japanese persimmon, is the type that people typically see in stores.
