How to eat persimmon correctly

Persimmon is a delicious and nutritious treat that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. This fruit can be eaten fresh or dried.

The most popular way to eat persimmon is to simply cut it in half and enjoy the soft, fleshy inside.

The skin of the fruit is edible, but can be quite tart. The best way to prepare the fruit for eating raw is to cut off the top and bottom of the fruit, then slice it thinly. If the persimmon is dried, you will need to remove the skin first. Slice the persimmon thinly and place in a tray. Store the dried fruit in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

You can add persimmon pieces to salads or use it as a healthy addition to yogurt or breakfast cereal.

Whether it's pudding, jam, muffins, bread, smoothies, fruit salads or cakes, persimmons are a delicious way to add extra nutrients to your daily diet.
