  dried persimmon

 

Thailand

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.
