I actually didn’t either until I read up on persimmons. My family loves these, and I wanted to know the health benefits of them. 🙂
I LOVE persimmons. 🙂 – Shanna
They are super yummy! 🙂
I saw these in costco and they looked beautiful but I didn’t know what to do with them!!! Do you just cut into them and eat them?
Hi Elaine,
You can just cut into them and eat them raw or use them in recipes. You can make persimmon pie, cookies, muffins, and much more. The pie was hit for my family. They loved it!! Especially when you add some cinnamon, nut meg, and cloves.
Cool, thank you, I’ll have to give them a go ☺ï¸
No problem, thats what I’m here for. 🙂 I will try to come up with a persimmon syrup. I am very curious to see how that would come out. 🙂
Sounds good 😊
I am actually writing a article on you now for the magazine. 🙂
