Then squeeze the persimmons gently. Wait until the cover turns tough, squeeze them again and wait for 2 or 3 days. Then squeeze dried persimmons into flat shape and get rid of the cores. Then, dried persimmon cakes are made. It is said that dried persimmon cakes are good for people who have high blood pressure. But you should remember "Do not eat dried persimmon cakes when your stomach is empty. Otherwise, you may suffer gastric calculus."

It is good to see this tip. I will tell my mom about this later today. It is lucky she favors to eat persimmon, either fresh or dried. Last weekend, I went back home, I saw lines of half-dried persimmon hanging on the wall in the yard. People are clever to save food for winter.

Cherry, this is old recipe from great grandpa from Fukien (now Fujian), it is for health but also taste very nice. Dried persimmons only two pieces for a pot of 8-litre. about 16 pcs of dried longan, 16 pcs of dried Chinese red dates (medium size), 20gm of dried thorn berries, 20gm of raisins. Sometimes sinseh or yisheng puts dried shanza (hawthorn) but it will be too sour.

Red date is good for blood flow while thorn berries are good for the heart.
