Hanging persimmons are made by drying fresh persimmons in the sun. Persimmons themselves contain more sugar such as glucose and fructose. In the process of dehydration and drying, glucose, fructose, phenols, volatile oil and other components contained in it will slowly precipitate on the surface of persimmon with the evaporation of water.
Frost will appear at this time, which is a normal phenomenon. The amount of frost is also a very important indicator to test the quality of persimmon.

However, the formation of hoarfrost also requires certain conditions, usually requiring a long time of drying and storage. However, in order to save ingredients, some inferior persimmons on the market will also sprinkle starch, talcum powder and other substances on the surface of persimmons to pretend to be hoarfrost, so they need to be carefully identified when purchasing.
The difference between frost and mildew on persimmons is identified from appearance and texture.
Persimmons are rich in nutrition. If it is not properly preserved, it is easy to breed mold and mildew. At this time, certain white or green mildew spots will be formed on persimmons, and the surface feels sticky and smells pungent.
But if the persimmon is just frosted, then its surface is relatively dry and non-sticky, and it smells mostly the natural sweetness of persimmon.
