💡 What's interesting
The white powder that forms naturally on the surface is not mold, but a harmless crystallization of glucose and fructose (called 'persimmon frost') that indicates proper drying and sweetness. Culturally, it is often given as a gift during the Chinese New Year, symbolizing good luck and a 'sweet' life.
