The best ways to enjoy it every day
Here are some practical tips to fully enjoy persimmons:
Wait until fully ripe. Some astringent varieties need to be very soft to be pleasant to eat. Others, firmer, can be eaten like an apple. If in doubt, your greengrocer will be able to advise you!
Enjoy it as is. Plain, without any preparation, its nutrients remain perfectly intact. A few slices in your morning bowl are enough to start the day off right.
Combine it with healthy fats. Paired with nuts or avocado, beta-carotene absorption is optimized. A quick salad of persimmon, spinach, walnuts, avocado, lemon, and
olive oil? A concentrated source of goodness that’s as delicious as it is beautiful.
Resist the urge to add sugar. Its natural sweetness is enough on its own — that’s the whole point!
From now on, when you see a persimmon on the market stall, you will know that this small orange fruit hides a real treasure for your health.
