The last few had started to go soft.
My sister put the "about-to-rot" persimmons in the freezer as she noticed in Korea they have frozen persimmons for dessert. What turned out to be was very nice persimmon ice-cream frost-ball. It was very nice!
Persimmons contain significant concentrations of dietary fiber, minerals and phenolic compounds - all instrumental in fighting atherosclerosis, a leading cause of heart disease, heart attacks and stroke.
Persimmons are also rich in sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron and manganese.
According to Shela Gorinstein, Ph.D., a research associate with the department of medicinal chemistry in the School of Pharmacy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, eating one medium-sized persimmon (about 100 grams) a day is enough to help fight atherosclerosis.
