What Are The Two Main Types Of Persimmons?
The two main types of persimmons are astringent and non-astringent. Astringent persimmons contain high levels of tannins, making them bitter and puckery until they ripen fully and become soft. Non-astringent persimmons, on the other hand, have lower levels of tannins, resulting in being sweeter and more tolerable to eat even when not fully ripe.
