Some
stacks of dried
persimmon
(fig.).
Peeling and air drying
this sweet fruits in a
sunny place makes them
into a snack that was in
ancient
China
once used as a tribute
to the imperial court.
The drying process is
completed after about
three weeks, when a
white powdery crust of
persimmon sugar forms on
the outside. Dried
persimmons are usually
flattened for easy
storage with less space.
