Why persimmon is astringent is because of a substance.

Many people have eaten astringent persimmons, and persimmons with this taste are really a bit unpalatable, but why do so few people know the reason? Let's talk about the reason why persimmons are astringent, because of a substance.

Why is persimmon astringent?

The astringency of persimmon comes from the tannin contained in the pulp.

Tannin in persimmon pulp cells will gradually change from soluble to insoluble during fruit ripening. Because there are still a lot of insoluble tannins that have not been converted after harvest, the astringency is still very strong, and it must be artificially treated to remove the astringency before eating. The astringent persimmon varieties with long harvest time and particularly high tannin content often have incomplete astringency.
