It’s Persimmon season! I love these fruits. If Star Apple, Naseberry, and Cantaloupe had an entanglement, The Persimmon Fruit would be born. You mainly see them in the grocery stores between fall and winter.
Nutrition Content of Persimmon Fruit.
The persimmon fruit is very sweet. The flesh is firm but succulent. They are loaded with good nutrition.
One fruit is approximately 118 calories. They are a good source of vitamin A, C, E K, B6, potassium, copper, and fiber. 1 serving of this fruit will provide you with around 30% of your daily recommended intake (RDI) of manganese.
Manganese is a mineral but plays a big role in the normal enzymatic process that helps with metabolism.
Persimmons are very high in pectin that makes it great for making this non-bake custard.
