Questions about Dried Japanese persimmon
How much dried Japanese persimmon is a usual portion?
A small dried Japanese persimmon is about 34 g. It provides 93 kcal, so it is more concentrated than fresh fruit.
Is the white coating on dried Japanese persimmon mould?
A fine, dry white coating is usually crystallised sugar and is normal on dried persimmon. If it is fuzzy, coloured, damp or smells musty, discard the fruit.
How should you store dried Japanese persimmon?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate it for longer storage, or freeze it; thaw it while still wrapped to limit condensation.
How do you make dried Japanese persimmon at home?
Peel firm astringent persimmons, leave the stalks attached, tie them up and hang them somewhere airy and dry. As they dry over several weeks, gently massage them every few days to soften the fruit; damp weather can encourage mould.
What goes well with dried Japanese persimmon?
Its honeyed sweetness works with sharp cheese, toasted nuts and unsweetened tea. In Japanese cuisine, sliced dried persimmon is also used in namasu, a vinegared salad often made with daikon and carrot.
