- Persimmons are highly packed with
polyphenols as well as antioxidants, which work in collaboration to
reduce LDL and triglycerides levels in blood. They are an
excellently good source of fibrous content which assist in
regulation of BP, health of heart and clearing up of arteries.
- Persimmon fruit is classified as
either astringent or non-astringent
- The persimmon tree is either male or
female, but some trees have both male and female flowers. Many
cultivars set seedless fruit without pollination,
but some climates require pollination for adequate production
- Persimmons can be grown in a wide
range of soils, but do best in well-drained loam. The tree does not
tolerate salinity. Persimmons grow better in heavier soils than do
most other deciduous tree fruits.
- Astringent persimmons have been a
common backyard tree in Australia for a 100 years. Many Australians
who grew up in the older suburbs of cities and towns know them for
the fact that they must be eaten when very soft, or they leave an
unpleasant astringent aftertaste. For this reason, they are not
popular within the Australian domestic market.
- The non-astringent varieties are sweet
and easily eaten when picked. The majority of the commercial
persimmon crops in Australia are non-astringent varieties, mostly
originating from Japan.
- Apples and pears are probably
Persimmons nearest competitors
- Industries promoting their product in
the marketplace at the same time as Persimmons include; apples,
pears, nashi, bananas, citrus, longan, table grapes, custard apples,
melons
- Consumers have been known to mistake
the fruit for an unripe tomato
- Not seen as expensive, but price
contributes to them being an occasional rather than an everyday
purchase
- The persimmon is one of the classical
fruits of China, from where it was introduced in ancient times to
Japan. China and Japan are the main areas of commercial cultivation
but smaller centres have developed in Italy, Israel, Brazil,
California (U.S.A.), Australia and New Zealand. In South-East Asia
it is grown on a limited scale in Java, Sumatra, Malaysia and
Northern Thailand.
- China remains the biggest producer of
persimmons
- One country that has recently expanded
its harvest and export of persimmon is Spain
- The top three export markets for
Australian persimmons were Malaysia , Singapore and Hong Kong
