Only think bananas and berries when you think about smoothies? Did you know that persimmons make a delicious smoothie? Not only that, the health benefits of persimmons make this fruit a must for your shopping list.
"Persimmons are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as lycopene, an anti-inflammatory compound that helps to protect against cancer," says Dr. Reuben Chen, a health and herbal wellness expert. "This vibrant fruit also contains flavonoids, which help to keep your heart healthy, and tannic acid, which help to reduce high blood pressure and high cholesterol. As a bonus, persimmons are high in potassium and electrolytes, which can give you an energy boost."
