Is it normal for persimmons to have black spots inside?

Persimmons are a common fruit. They contain many nutrients, have a sweet and delicious taste, and are highly nutritious, making them very popular. Many people buy persimmons to eat. Some people find black spots on their persimmons. This could be the result of artificial enhancement, overripeness, or spoilage.

We'll see.

Many artificially improved persimmon varieties now prevent the female flowers from fertilizing and producing fruit, leaving the seed coat inside the fruit. This results in black spots appearing inside the persimmon.

Secondly, persimmons contain a certain amount of tannins. During the ripening process, the tannins in persimmons gradually convert into sugars. If the persimmons are overripe at this time, black spots will appear, which is normal.

In addition, persimmons are rich in tannins and iron, which are exposed to air after being cut open. These two substances react during oxidation, producing dark brown persimmons and small black spots on the surface of the flesh.

Finally, black spots on persimmons may also be due to prolonged storage, causing them to rot and spoil, which reduces the edible value of crisp persimmons.

The persimmons have black spots. Is that bad?

uncertain.

The small black dots inside a persimmon are actually elongated seeds. Because persimmons have been continuously improved through artificial breeding, the female flowers cannot fertilize and bear fruit, leaving the seed coat inside the flesh. That's why you see small black dots on a cut persimmon, but you can still find granular seeds in the fruit of a wild persimmon.

In addition, persimmons release acetaldehyde during ripening, which converts soluble tannins into insoluble tannins, appearing as small black spots in the persimmon. These black spots are insoluble in saliva and do not cause astringency when eaten. Therefore, the more black spots a persimmon has, the less astringent it is.

The persimmon has many black spots. Is it still edible?

Yes, you can eat it.

If the persimmon has no abnormal shape, but has many black spots in the center after cutting it open, this is normal and it is safe to eat. These black spots are the seeds from before cultivation. Due to artificial breeding, the female flowers of the persimmon have lost their ability to fertilize and bear fruit, leaving only the seed coat, which forms black spots in the pulp. Like the persimmon itself, these black spots do not affect its nutrition or taste. It is perfectly safe to eat.
