> Do people do anything with the astringent types? Yes, we do. Both have their own merits, but astringent types have a couple of serious advantages over non astringent, 1) they store much more sugar than the fuju types and 2) are untouched by insects or birds until ripe.

Kaki is at least three totally different fruits in one.
