Is starch not astringent? I know I used to confuse the two before I understood what astringent was. “This is like eating a banana peel.”

You haven’t tried astringent until you’ve had an Asian persimmon like Hachiya that’s not quite ready.

Persimmons are what taught me about astringent. I stick to fuyu. They just taste like cardboard if you guess wrong.
