Persimmon: the *new apple*?

1 persimmon a day will keep the doctor away.

Persimmon is the 'new apple.'

I love fruits, all fruits.
There are a few I take bias toward.
One of them is the ancient Japanese treasure: Persimmon. This delicious fruit is not only full of unique flavor, but rich in antioxidants, vitamins and twice the fiber of the same size apple. Check out the nutritional facts below (all courtesy of calorieking.com):



***for added antioxidant benefits, an amazing indulgence tip: dip slices of persimmons in melted dark chocolate....mmmmm

P.S. It is OK to lick the plate after :)
P.S. 2 It is also OK to share with someone special :)
