In daily life, we sometimes pick some green persimmons from the trees. These persimmons are not fully ripe, have a bitter taste, and are not suitable for consumption. In order to make these green persimmons ripen as soon as possible, we can speed up their ripening process by some ripening methods. Here are a few commonly used ripening methods.
1. Place it in a place with a large temperature difference.
Place the green persimmons in a place with a large temperature difference, such as indoors near the window or in a cool place, and use the temperature difference to promote the ripening of persimmons. At night, persimmons can be placed outside; During the day, it is moved indoors to maintain a comfortable temperature. This method requires patience as the ripening process can take several days or more.
Ripe fruit releases a gas called ethylene, which promotes the ripening of other fruits. Therefore, putting green persimmons with ripe fruits such as apples, bananas, or pears can speed up the ripening of persimmons. The persimmons can be placed in a sealed plastic bag and then the ripe fruit can be placed to enhance the effect. After a few days, the persimmons will gradually ripen and become soft and sweet.
If you want to ripen green persimmons faster, you can use a ripening agent. The main ingredient of ripening agents is ethephon, which is a common plant growth regulator. Spray an appropriate amount of ethephon solution on the surface of the green persimmons, then cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm place. After about 2-3 days, the persimmons will become soft and sweet. However, it should be noted that the dosage must be controlled when using ripening agents, as excessive consumption may affect the taste and quality of persimmons.
Through the above methods, we can successfully ripen the green persimmons picked from the tree, making them softer, sweeter and more suitable for consumption. Whichever method you choose, you need to take care to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, and avoid using too many chemicals or medications. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the changes in persimmons to avoid excessive ripening and spoilage of persimmons.
In addition, there are some other ways to assist in ripening green persimmons. For example, persimmons can be placed in a rice jar and the persimmons can be buried with rice, which can use the heat generated by the rice to promote the ripening of the persimmons. In addition, soaking persimmons in hot water can also play a certain role in ripening. However, these methods may not be as effective as the aforementioned methods.
In the process of ripening green persimmons, we also need to pay attention to some details. For example, it is necessary to choose healthy persimmons for ripening and avoid choosing already damaged or diseased fruits. During the ripening process, it is necessary to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity to avoid too high or too low temperature and humidity to cause adverse effects on persimmons. In addition, care should be taken to avoid mixing with other fruits or vegetables so as not to affect each other.
