What is the matter with hard persimmons? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What is the matter with hard persimmons?

The common persimmons we eat have to be ripe and soft before they can be eaten, but there is another kind of persimmon that can be eaten while it is hard. This is because of the different varieties. So hard persimmons are edible.

Soft persimmons have a sweet and soft texture, with a light astringent taste after eating; hard persimmons have a crisp texture, with a sweet and green taste.

4. How to ripen persimmons

1. Soak in lime water

Persimmons that are not fully ripe can be ripened with lime water. At this time, you can dilute an appropriate amount of lime with clean water to make lime water, and then soak the purchased raw persimmons in the lime water for about half an hour. Then take them out to remove the moisture on the surface, and then put them in a warm environment. After three days, you will find that the persimmons have become soft, and they will taste particularly sweet when you taste them again.

2. Blanch in boiling water

You can also use boiling water to ripen persimmons at home, but persimmons ripened by this method have a short shelf life. They are suitable for eating as soon as they are ripened, and you cannot process too many at one time. The specific method is to add clean water to a pot and boil it, then put the persimmons in the pot and soak them for about ten minutes, take them out and put them in a warm place, and they will become soft and sweet the next day.

3. Apply white wine

Persimmons can also be ripened with white wine. When you buy unripe persimmons, you can apply an appropriate amount of white wine on the surface of the persimmons, then put the persimmons in a sealable container, cover the mouth, and place it in a warm place. After three or four days, the persimmons inside will be fully ripe, and they will be soft, sweet and delicious.

4. Low temperature ripening

Many people use the method of increasing the temperature to ripen persimmons at home, but they don’t know that persimmons can also be ripened in a low temperature environment. After buying persimmons, you can wrap them with plastic wrap and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator. Freeze them overnight and take them out the next day and put them in the sun. After the frozen persimmons are completely thawed, the persimmons will be ripe and become soft and sweet.
