Persimmons are known to be sticky and leave an unpleasant aftertaste.
We tell you how to eat persimmon to get rid of the astringent effect.
How to eat persimmon correctly
If the variety is not astringent (for example, the kinglet), but the persimmon is still astringent, it means it is not ripe yet, and you need to get rid of the peel.
It contains a large amount of tannins, which give this fruit its astringency.
Peel the persimmon, cut into pieces and eat with a fork. If the persimmon is soft, you can cut it in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon.
Freezing and soaking in warm water also help to get rid of the astringent effect.
