>>2222052I went back to my usual spots today and got a few more pounds. I want to try to make persimmon beer this year. Does anyone know of any good recipes for this, or any other good uses for persimmons?

The flowerbuds can be collected just before they open, and then boiled or pickled. The yellow flowers can be eaten raw as well, but I like to batter and fry them. The roots can be roasted and ground to make a coffee substitute.
I find dandelion greens to be too bitter for my tastes, but the flower fritters are excellent.
