Fruity info : Persimmon's Health benefits

This is not tomato...if that's what you're thinking. But if you know this isn't tomato, good for you.
When I first met this particular fruit, namely persimmon, I have no interest in it, due to it's appearance that resembles a tomato, but orange-colored. I imagined, this has got to taste like tomato, this is a vegetable( nothing wrong with that though).
Then one day, my hubby decided to buy some persimmon, because he read about the values it had on health. So, he did bought it, and together we discover how delicious the fruit was. Not at all sour as tomato, in fact it's sweetness was just right, delighting our taste buds and it was not even soft, it was crunchy and crispy. Now, we're loving it. A lesson here: no judging the book by it's cover.
This fruit is originally from china, but like any other fruits, thanks to commercials and importing-exporting interrelations, we all can have a taste of it.
Eat it with or without the skin.
So, go to the nearest store and grab a basket of these, one is never enough.
