Persimmons hit the produce section of grocery stores and join other fall fruits and vegetables at farmer’s markets during September, October, and November. They are small orange fruits that have a mildly sweet and spicy taste. Always remember this: Fuyu persimmons are the sweetest and those are the ones you should opt for when buying persimmons.
Rich in vitamins AÂ & C and compounds known as shibuol and betulinic acid, persimmons have been known to have anti-cancer properties. In fact, persimmons have been associated with combating breast cancer cells without harming normal breast cells. Is that a coincidence since persimmons arrive every October, which is National Breast Cancer Month? We think not! Persimmons are also rich in B-complex vitamins, which help to stabilize the metabolic system.
