Are you new to plant-based eating and want to try more fruits and vegetables, but don’t know where to start or know how to enjoy them? You haven’t cooked with most of the veggies you’ve seen in the Fresh Produce department and have generally stuck to the same old familiar fruits you grew up on –like apples, oranges and pears – and haven’t ventured much farther. And some of the fruits you’ve seen being sold  seem to have strange shapes and colors…like those small squarish hard orange-colored fruit you’ve noticed lately at the store this Fall. What are they and what do they taste like?   Those, my Friend, are called Persimmons and there are a few KEY important things you need to know about them if you want to truly appreciate and enjoy them. In this episode, we’ll look at persimmons in terms of their nutritional value, how to store them and the many ways to eat them. So join me as we dive into the world of Persimmons together!     Join -> Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course: www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse Contact -> healthnow@plantnourished.com Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Connect with Community -> www.facebook.com/groups/beginnerplantbaseddietsuccess Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> 7 Ways to Test-Drive a Plant-Based Diet  www.plantnourished.com/testdrive     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?
