How to Choose Persimmons That Don't Knot: Avoid These Mistakes
Many people love persimmons. But, alas, when buying the product, it often happens that the fruits are too astringent.
How to guess with the choice? And it is better not to guess at all, but to know something. And then you will certainly acquire what you want.
When choosing a persimmon, look at how it looks: the surface should be smooth and shiny.
If there are cracks, this indicates the process of decay.
Also, you shouldn't take unripe fruits. Not only are they tasteless and tart, but they can also be harmful to your health.
Ripe persimmons are bright red-orange fruits with dried-out pericarp leaves. If you lift the latter, you will notice a brown tint.
If you have chosen the “right” persimmon, but it is still astringent, place it in the refrigerator (or freezer) for one or two days.
The fruits will ripen and become softer and sweeter, and the viscosity will disappear.
And in order for persimmon to retain its properties for as long as possible, up to 2-3 months, it is recommended to store it at an air temperature of about 0 degrees and at high humidity.
For reference
Persimmon is a genus of subtropical and tropical deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs of the Ebony family, many species of which have edible fruits.
