To remove bitterness from persimmons, particularly the astringent varieties, allow them to fully ripen until they are soft and mushy. This process can take several days to weeks at room temperature. Alternatively, you can freeze the persimmons for a day or two, which helps to break down the tannins that cause bitterness. Once ripe or thawed, the fruit can be enjoyed fresh or used in recipes without the unpleasant astringency.
