Dried Persimmon

Persimmons and other products made with this fruit are very attractive to people due to their unique flavor and aroma.

Persimmon has many beneficial effects on digestive and cardiovascular systems. Persimmon fruits are rich in carbohydrates, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, such as condensed tannins, vitamins A and C, minerals, and dietary fiber.

The fruit ripens and softens in a very short time resulting in jelly-like flesh. In this state, it is very vulnerable to physical and microbiological deterioration and thus cannot be stored for a long period.

Persimmon can be processed into jam, marmalade or can be preserved by canning or drying techniques.

Dried persimmons can be an alternative to fresh persimmons when fresh fruit is not available. Carbohydrate, protein, dietary fiber, and mineral contents of the fruit increase as a result of the drying process and a low moisture product with high energy content is obtained.
