Nutritional Value

Sweet persimmons can be eaten directly, but astringent persimmons need to be artificially de-astringent before they can be eaten. The methods to remove the astringency generally include leaving it for a period of time and soaking it in warm water or lime water. In addition to being eaten fresh, persimmons can be dried and made into persimmon cakes. There is a layer of white powder on the outside of persimmon cake, which is called persimmon frost. Persimmon frost is not starch, but is mainly composed of crystals formed by glucose that seeps out from the inside. These crystals do not easily combine with moisture in the air, so the surface of the dried persimmons usually remains dry. This is also conducive to the preservation of persimmons. Persimmons can also be made into persimmon wine and persimmon vinegar, and processed into persimmon preserves, persimmon powder, persimmon frost, persimmon tea, frozen persimmons, etc. In the north, especially in some areas of Shandong, persimmons are used to make persimmon pancakes.

In winter, in many places in the north, persimmons are not easy to transport or store, so they are placed outdoors and then frozen into ice at very low temperatures. They are called frozen persimmons for transportation. Therefore, when eating, you must first put the persimmons in water to melt them before eating, so that the taste will be better.
