Sweet Persimmon


One fruit that I cannot live without is this sweet and succulent persimmon. It's also known as Kaki fruit in the orient. The appearance resembles that of a large tomato with a translucent skin of light yellow-orange .

This fruit has many health benefits because it is rich in iron, Vitamin A & C, calcium and potassium.

It thrives well in areas with moderate winter and mild summer.

We have this fruit tree in our yard and it bears fruit like crazy! Now they are still green but I am going to show it to you when they are ripe.
