Got protein enriched guava, and some persimmon

Persimmons were still quite green when I picked them, as the birds had already gotten to the ripe ones first.
They also have very thick skin compared to store bought persimmons, which might be a good think, as I only found superficial damage and just one bug near their weakest part around the calyx
Guavas on the other hand... let's just say I won't need any extra protein in my diet for a while
protein enriched
My brain: "Oh cool is this some new varietal... or... oh... oh god"
It reminds me of an old joke:
Q: What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? A: Finding half a worm.
It's my fault after all: If I hadn't taken a look, I'd have never known
I wonder if this is why the persimmons seem different to you from the store?
Yeah, it could be that and it was definitely astringent when unripe. I can't confirm right now as this tree wasn't tagged, but I'll ask around to see if anyone knows
