Pingshan persimmon

Persimmon, a berry fruit of Persimmon family, originated in China and has been cultivated for more than 1000 years. Persimmon is the fruit of an important fruit tree widely planted, mainly planted in mountainous areas such as Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hebei. Persimmon was introduced to France and Mediterranean countries in the 19th century, and then to the United States. The persimmon fruit is about 5 to 8 cm in diameter and yellow to red. Persimmons contain vitamin a and a small amount of vitamin C. Persimmon trees can withstand the cold of about MINUS 18 degrees. Persimmon is native to America, and its tree shape is short, sometimes up to 10 meters. The fruit is flat, crimson to sauce-colored, with a diameter of 3 to 5 cm and many large and flat seeds. After artificial cultivation, American persimmons have many excellent varieties, and their taste is better than that of oriental persimmons. There are more than 1000 varieties of persimmons, and they can be divided into astringent persimmons and sweet persimmons according to whether they can naturally remove astringency before they mature on trees. The latter is mainly from the "winter persimmon" in this variety, which has been astringent when it matures. The former (most persimmons listed in China belong to this category) must be artificially astringent before being eaten, and the material basis for causing astringency of astringent persimmons is tannic acid (also called tannic acid).
