If you have bought persimmons and they have not removed the astringency , do not worry because the astringency is quite common in this variety of fruit. Although it depends a lot on the types of persimmons you buy, since not all are the same .

Remember that normal persimmons are astringent and persimmons are no longer so.

We explained this much better in the TVE program " Now or Never " when they came to visit us at our persimmon field .

Here is the full episode. We are at minute 13:14

persimmon without roughness

He khaki It is a short-season fruit , which is only harvested during the autumn and winter months. Its sweet flavour delights all kinds of palates, but sometimes we find that it leaves a slight roughness on the tongue when eating it and this is not at all pleasant.

What causes persimmon to be rough?

The astringency of persimmon is due to the tannins it contains, substances with antioxidant properties that are very beneficial for our health.

These Tannins increase the greener the fruit is. So if what you want is remove roughness of persimmons, it is necessary that let it mature .

You can do it by following the instructions in the video I'm leaving you. However, this may not be to everyone's taste, and there will be people who don't like the soft texture of the persimmon when it's ripe. Don't worry, we have a solution for that too.

How to remove roughness from persimmons?

This is also known as "curing" persimmons. It is very simple: leave them in a pot with a small glass of a high-proof alcoholic beverage (like anise) and place the persimmons around them or you can also rub them with this alcoholic beverage, cover the pot well and leave them for about a week.

The Tannins are soluble substances , and this will cause the tannins to transform and the astringency of the persimmon to disappear without it needing to ripen and become soft.
