Basic Introduction to Raoping Persimmon Cake

Fushan Town has a mountainous area of 63912 acres, with loose and fertile land that is very suitable for persimmon tree planting. In addition, the local planting of green persimmons and the production of persimmon cakes have a long history of more than 200 years. Therefore, the people have rich experience in persimmon planting, effective management, and produce large and sweet fruits

Persimmon cakes are sweet, moist, non-toxic, nourishing the heart and lungs, relieving cough and phlegm, clearing heat and thirst, strengthening the spleen and astringent intestines. Fresh persimmons contain a lot of water, glucose and fructose. When dried into persimmons, the water gradually evaporates. The glucose and fructose contained in the pulp penetrate into the skin, forming glucose crystals, which are similar to the syrup outside the candied fruit, and can be called the essence of persimmons. Meanwhile, this layer of "white frost" keeps the entire persimmon cake dry. Persimmon cakes, processed and boiled, can treat rectal bleeding and cough in the elderly, and also have certain therapeutic effects on hepatitis

The production method of Raoping persimmon cakes

The residents of Pingyang and Hantang villages in Fushan Town have mastered a complete set of persimmon cake production techniques and are proficient in the technology. Only the process of making persimmon cakes and scraping the skin is necessary. Many people can scrape nearly a thousand pounds of green persimmons every day, and the scraping technique requires high demands. The scraping force is moderate, only the skin is scraped off, and the second layer of skin cannot be damaged, otherwise it will affect the quality of persimmon cake production. After scraping the skin of these persimmons, they need to be repeatedly sun dried, cooled, and kneaded. They are then placed in a steamer and steamed repeatedly with the prepared sulfur. After that, they are "mated" with the micro fungus "white enzyme" that propagated last year. It takes more than 20 processes, about half a month, for the green persimmons to turn into persimmon cakes
