What is dried persimmon fruit good for?
Persimmon fruit was called the Divine fruit "Dyospyros" by the ancient Greeks. Persimmon fruit has a delicious taste, is versatile and nutritious. In addition, it is nice and sweet, tasty, rich in nutrients and packed with antioxidants.
Persimmon contains many vitamins and minerals: A, B, C en E.
Vitamin A ensures a properly functioning immune system.
Vitamin B6 mainly contains persimmon, but also other B vitamins. This is important for your resistance and digestion.
Vitamin C is also very important for your resistance, but it also has other benefits, as it is good for your bones, teeth and blood vessels.
Vitamin E keeps the heart healthy and is good for your nerves, skin, red blood cells and muscles.
100 grams of persimmon contains no less than 14.5 grams of fiber. The advice is to eat about 30 to 40 grams of fiber per day. Dried persimmon can therefore make a good contribution to this.
Furthermore, in addition to the above vitamins, the persimmon fruit also contains minerals:
Copper, iron, potassium and many antioxidants.
Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals and are therefore anti-inflammatory.
The persimmon fruit also lowers cholesterol, which protects against various diseases.
Due to a specially developed drying process, the dried persimmon retains more moisture. This not only ensures a delicious and pleasant taste, but also retains all the above-mentioned vitamins and minerals.
Our persimmon fruit is characterized by its delicious taste, full structure and unique color.
