The edible fruits of the persimmon or kaki ( Diospyros kaki Lf, 1782) are called kaki mela . At our latitudes they are harvested between October and November; we are therefore talking about typically autumnal fruits .
From the botanical point of view, the fruits of the khaki are berries, ie fleshy fruits . Peppers, tomatoes and aubergines are also classified as berries.
