Persimmon

Refreshing and nutritious, Japanese fruits may be unlike those you’ve tried before. They’re not easily found in local stores, so you might have to venture …

While not many Americans have eaten persimmon, never mind know what a persimmon is, the country of Japan has sung praises of this fruit for centuries. The Japanese even boast it as their national fruit, and for many good reasons.

Choosing fruits naturally produced in your region is also better for the environment – fewer miles to travel means less pollution and a lower carbon footprint.
