Guess that Fruit!

Does anyone know what this fruit is? 
Before I became vegan, I would have easily mistaken this for a tomato in the grocery store, but its actually a delicious, gooey, super-sweet....

PERSIMMON!

Persimmons are often confused with tomatoes due to their appearance but have a very different taste. Persimmons are a type of fruit that is considered a berry. They have a high glucose content and are very sweet with a pumpkin-like flavor. I have used persimmons in my pumpkin pie smoothie as well as in a raw vegan pumpkin pie recipe (by Fully Raw Kristina)
