Persimmons are typically ripe when they have turned a deep orange or amber color and feel soft to the touch, similar to a ripe peach. Depending on the variety, this can occur in late fall to early winter. For astringent varieties like Hachiya, it's essential to wait until they are fully soft, while non-astringent types like Fuyu can be eaten while still firm. Always check for a sweet fragrance as an additional sign of ripeness.
