Persimmons


Persimmons pack a mean punch, man! They provide vitamins C, A, & B3, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and phosphorus. Persimmons also offer protein, healthy sugars, mass dietary fiber, and a vibrant orange color. The more colors you eat the better, so enjoy some persimmons fresh or dried. The dried persimmons are covered in sulfites for preservation, so just rinse it off with warm water and you’ve got a healthy snack that provides 12 grams of protein; 23% of your required daily intake from just one whole dried persimmon!­­
