What are the main producing areas of persimmons? The most delicious persimmons in China come from these places
Persimmon is a fruit that many people like to eat. Right now is the good season when persimmons are abundantly on the market. People who know about persimmons should know that persimmons are mainly divided into two types, sweet persimmons and astringent persimmons, and they are cultivated in every region. So do you know where China's most delicious persimmons are produced? Let me introduce them below.
1. Shaanxi Fuping Pointed Persimmon
The Fuping pointed persimmon has orange-red skin, is transparent and seedless, with plenty of juice, soft flesh, and is extremely sweet. After the pointed persimmon is picked from the branch, it must first be peeled, hung in a shed to dry for more than 40 days, and then piled together to "sweat" for 15 days until frost appears, only then can it become a qualified sweet and chewy dried persimmon.
2. Shaanxi Lintong Fire Crystal Persimmon
The fire crystal persimmon has a color as brilliant as flame and skin as clear as crystal. It is small and red, sparkling and bright, with thin skin and no core, dense flesh, and skin that is extremely easy to peel. It tastes sweet but not cloying, and can even be used to make wine and vinegar.
3. Guilin Gongcheng Moon Persimmon
Gongcheng moon persimmon can be eaten in many ways. You can eat the plump, juicy, crisp and sweet fresh fruit, or make it into frozen persimmon, dried persimmon, persimmon wine, and so on. The moon persimmon is named for being peeled and dried into dried persimmon, with a layer of sugar frost on the surface shaped like a full moon. In Gongcheng, a grand "Moon Persimmon Festival" is held every year during the harvest season from early October to late November.
4. Hubei Luotian Sweet Persimmon
Luotian sweet persimmon is a persimmon that has naturally lost its astringency, and the sweet persimmons produced in Zanzishi Village are the finest, fresh and gorgeous, with few seeds and rich sweetness, large size and few seeds, thin skin and thick flesh, sweet and crisp and delicious. These characteristics have made it famous far and wide.
5. Shandong Heze Mirror Persimmon
The orange-yellow mirror persimmon, after being peeled, dried in the sun, and kneaded, becomes Geng cake. Because Heze was called Caozhou in ancient times, it is also called Caozhou Geng cake. The fame of this Caozhou Geng cake is much greater than that of the mirror persimmon. In addition, the frosting of Geng cake is slightly different from other dried persimmons, appearing as flat granules, and is called "bean-petal frost."
6. Henan Mianchi County Shimen Village Ox-Heart Persimmon
The ox-heart persimmon is named for its shape resembling an ox heart. As an astringent persimmon, the ox-heart persimmon is different from those sweet persimmons that can be eaten as soon as you pick them up. To taste its deliciousness, it must go through the test of tedious de-astringency and a long wait. But the wonder of the ox-heart persimmon lies even more in the dried persimmon made from it: put it in cold water and stir, and it can turn into persimmon paste, sweet but not cloying, comparable to honey.
7. Shanxi Yongji (Puzhou) Persimmon
Puzhou persimmon is also called "Yongji green persimmon." During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Puzhou green persimmon was once used as a tribute offering to the imperial palace. Large in size and thin in skin, with fine flesh and abundant juice, sweet in taste and seedless, and extremely easy to de-astringe, after being processed into dried persimmon, the frost is thick and soft, seedless and juicy. When broken open from the middle, it can pull out oily threads more than a chi long. In addition, various patterns can be carved into it, so it was favored by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Persimmon is a kind of fruit that many people like to eat. It can not only be eaten fresh, but also made into dried persimmon.
