Cooked, yes.  As in persimmon pudding.  I think it can be eathen raw
when fully ripened.  But I think I'll stick to cooked until someone else
tries the raw fruit and reports back to us...

I imagine if you search hard enough you can find some fig wood.  I dunno
what properties it would have but I bet somebody turns it.
