Persimmon is a healthy and tasty product that is rich in vitamins A, C, and is also rich in potassium and antioxidants. Therefore, many people try to include persimmon in their diet.
But not everyone knows how to choose the right fruit so that it is tasty and ripe.
It turns out that you only need to pay attention to four points when choosing fruits.
Fruit shape
The sweeter fruits are believed to be of the 'hyakume' variety.
It is important to remember that the taste depends not only on the variety, but also on the ripening of the fruit.
Peel
The color should be rich.
If it is pale, it may mean that the persimmon is not ripe yet.
But when thin dry stripes arranged in a circle are visible on the skin, this is a sign of the fruit’s ripeness.
The surface must be smooth, shiny and free from damage.
Softness of the fruit
If the product is too hard, it means that it is not ripe yet.
Fruits that are too soft and seem to spread out will be overripe, but still sweet. The ideal option is something in between.
Leaves
They should be dry. There may be a slight brown tint underneath.
