Many people try to choose persimmons that do not have sticky properties, but in our country, varieties have this quality.
We can often see conical shaped varieties on sale, as they are popular in European countries.
The fruits of the non-astringent variety are round or tetrahedral in shape.
This persimmon is hard and crunchy because these varieties cannot become soft enough.
How to get rid of the astringent properties of persimmon
The astringent properties are due to tannins, a chemical compound.
But if the berry is fully ripe, it loses this ability. But in this case, transporting persimmon is very difficult, as it becomes very soft.
Therefore, if you want the persimmon to not become astringent, you can put it in a bag and let it sit for a few days.
You can also place it next to apples and bananas - they release ethylene, which accelerates the ripening of persimmons.
