How to make persimmons soft

Crisp persimmon is one of our common fruits. Some friends do not eat persimmons in time after purchasing them, which causes the crisp persimmons to become soft. They worry that such persimmons are inedible, but this is not the case. Crisp persimmons can actually be eaten after they become soft, but soft persimmons are sweeter than crisp persimmons.

Crisp persimmons can be eaten when they become soft. Oranges can be eaten even if they become soft after being stored for a long time. They become soft because the water inside the orange evaporates, which increases the sugar content of the orange and makes it taste sweeter. Similarly, the crisp persimmon seeds can be eaten when they become soft, and they will be sweeter. As long as they do not have that spoiled sour taste, they can be eaten. Generally speaking, as long as you don't break it, it will not be bad.

How to soften persimmons

The methods to remove the astringency of persimmons generally include leaving them for a period of time and soaking them in warm water or lime water. It will mature more slowly if left naturally for a period of time, and the method of using lime water is not very convenient.

Some of the persimmons sold in supermarkets are still hard, because fully ripe persimmons are easily crushed. It is best to remove the astringency of the astringent persimmons we buy at home, otherwise they will be neither tasty nor healthy.

The simplest way to remove the astringency of persimmons is to put them together with ripe apples. The ripe apples will release gases such as ethylene, which can help persimmons remove their astringency. Ethylene is a plant hormone that can ripen fruits. This method is also very healthy. In addition, ripe bananas have a similar effect.

Tips:

1. Other methods of ripening persimmons: soak them in 50℃~60℃ water, change the water 2~3 times a day, and you can eat them in about 2 days. This method is the oldest and ensures that hard fruits will become soft and astringent fruits will become sweet. Or apply some white wine on the persimmon peel and then store it. This method is the simplest, but the effect is not always significant.
