Ama-Persimmons ayizithelo ezidliwayo zezihlahla kuhlobo lwe-Diospyros emndenini u-Ebenaceae. Igama elithi Diospyros livela esiGrekini sakudala, okusho ukuthi "izithelo zaphezulu". I-Persimmon yaseMelika (D. virginiana), ikhula isuka eGulf ithi inyakatho iye enkabeni yePennsylvania nasenkabeni ye-Illinois. Izithelo zinobubanzi obungu-3 kuya ku-5 cm, zivame ukuthotshaniswa, bese zibomvu kumnyama ngombala. Izithelo eziningi ziqukethe imbewu eningi emincane ethotshisiwe. Izinhlobo eziningana eziphakeme ziye zabizwa futhi zasakazwa futhi zikhula ngokuhweba.
Ama-Persimmons akhiqizwa kakhulu yi-Persimmon yase-Asia, i-Diospyros Kaki noma i-Kaki Fruit. I-Persimmon yase-Eshiya noma yaseJapan idabuka eChina, lapho ibilinywe khona amakhulu eminyaka futhi kukhona izinhlobo ezingaphezulu kwezinkulungwane ezimbili. Yasakazekela eKorea naseJapan eminyakeni eminingi edlule lapho kwakhiwa khona ezinye izitshalo ezabe zisakazeka emhlabeni wonke phakathi nekhulu le-19.
Ama-Persimmons akhiqizwa ezihlahleni eziqinile futhi ngaphambi kokulahlekelwa ngamaqabunga awo amade, amaqabunga ama-Persimmon anemibala eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka aguqula umbala omnyama okhanyayo no-orange ojulile, ngaphambi kokuphonsa ebusika. Izihlahla ezitshaliwe zithungwa minyaka yonke kepha uma zishiywe zingalungisiwe, izihlahla zingakhula zifike kumamitha ayi-10 ukuphakama. Izihlahla ziqala ukuthela izithelo ngemuva kweminyaka emithathu, kepha zifinyelela kuphela ngokugcwele emva kweminyaka eyisishiyagalombili futhi isikhathi sokuphila kwezihlahla ezinempilo sisondele eminyakeni engama-40. Isivuno esiphezulu sofika ku-50 t / ha sibhalwe phansi kwezinye izihlahla ezikhiqiza kahle kakhulu.
Izimbali zenzeka ngesikhathi sentwasahlobo kanti Izithelo ZaseKaki zivuthwa zivuthwe ekwindla sekwephuzile. Izithelo zezinhlobonhlobo ezahlukahlukene zihlukahluka kusuka kokukhanyayo ophuzi-olintshi kuya ku-orange obumnyama obumnyama. Ziyahlukahluka ngosayizi ukusuka kububanzi obuyi-1.5 kuye ku-9 cm futhi ukubukeka kwazo kuyahlukahluka kusuka kokuyindilinga kuye okusaqanda nokwethanga. Izithelo ezikhiqizwa kakhulu i-Kaki Files zithathwa kancane phezulu nangaphansi ngezimpawu ezinobuhlaka futhi zinesimo esifana notamatisi omkhulu. Isikhumba sibushelelezi futhi siyabukeka, futhi izithelo zinombala ogqamile owolintshi ogqamile.
Abantu bahlukaniswa ngezigaba ezimbili ezijwayelekile, labo abathela izithelo ezingadliwayo kuze kube yilapho sekuvuthiwe futhi labo izithelo zabo zingezenyezi. Ama-persimmons angenayo i-astringent angadliwa lapho sesivuthiwe njenge-apula. Ama-Persimmons akhiqizwa kakhulu, i-Kaki Fruit ama-persimmons asezinkanyezi. Izithelo zidinga inqubo yokuvezwa komoya ngemuva kokuvunwa ukuze kususwe i-astringency esithelweni ngaphambi kokuba izithelo zidliwe futhi zithengiswe. Lapho izithelo zivunwa, kuba nezinkanyezi futhi kungenakufezeka ngenxa yamazinga aphezulu e-tannin, kodwa le nqubo ikhulisa isithelo futhi isiguqule sibe isithelo esimnandi.
Lapho izithelo sezihlanganisiwe ziphathwa nge-ethylene igesi noma i-carbon dioxide emagumbini akhethekile wezokwelapha amahora amaningi noma izinsuku, kuye ngohlobo lokwelashwa. Lezi zombili lezi glue ezivamile futhi lokhu kwelashwa akulimazi kubathengi. Ukwelashwa kwegesi kususa amazinga aphezulu e-tannin ezitsheni futhi kuthele izithelo eziqinile, ezisezingeni eliphakeme ezinokuthungwa okufana nejelly, ukunambitheka okumnandi, nombala omuhle we-orange okulungele ukumakethwa.
Isithelo seKaki sicebile kakhulu ku-Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) no-Vitamin B1 (thiamin) futhi sigcwele ama-carotenoids, aziwa ngomthelela wawo omuhle ekunciphiseni ubungozi besifo senhliziyo kanye nomdlavuza othile. Izithelo ziqukethe imicu ephindwe kabili kunaleyo etholakala kuma-apula futhi iqukethe nezinto ezifana ne-calcium, i-iron ne-magnesium.
