After detailed sharing about the persimmon harvest season, making persimmons crunchy and persimmon hanging in the wind, Ms. Viet Anh also advised on how to distinguish Da Lat persimmons from Chinese persimmons. It is the Dalat persimmon season that lasts from mid-September to early December, while Chinese persimmons are sold at many times of the year. The original Da Lat persimmons, when ripe, only need 1-2 days to begin to soften, if not eaten in time, they will rot quickly, while Chinese persimmons bought for a whole week will not be damaged by using chemicals to preserve. As for the Da Lat persimmon variety, which is round and thin like a chicken egg without grooves, when ripe, it will turn orange-yellow, not red, shiny like Chinese persimmons. In addition, Da Lat persimmons are still sweet and delicious, while Chinese persimmons are not as delicious.
