Date: November 09, 2009 12:33AM Hi everyone,
In my effort to try new things, I picked up some persimmons (3 of them) at the store yesterday. Now I am counting on someone's expert advice to tell me how I prepare them to eat them. Never tried them before, want to, but know nothing about them. Thanks in advance! Deb  Re: Persimmons

Date: November 09, 2009 04:59AM This site has persimmon pudding which is blending persimmon and banana: [www.applesforhealth.com]
You can use seeds from scraping the inside of a vanilla bean instead of using extract. A site that has persimmon pie is www.raw-food-health.net/PersimmonPie.html It has nice colour photos. Here's a drink: [www.fromsadtoraw.com] I don't know how the recipes are, though, because I never buy persimmons. If you find a good one, please let me know.

Date: November 09, 2009 12:38PM Thanks Trive,
I think that I will try the pudding first because I can't seem to find young coconuts at the moment. I will let you know how these recipes taste as I try them. I look forward to trying persimmons cause I had never heard of them until I started raw. Its amazing how your mind opens up to change when you get off of the SAD diet. Thanks for your help. Have a great day! Deb Re: Persimmons

Date: November 10, 2009 12:14AM I tried to duplicate the pudding recipe tonight. I failed, but in a good way. I used
3 persimmons 2 bananas 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon Blended in the vitamix until smooth, chilled and then served sprinkled with more cinnamon and topped with blueberries, yum! It was good! I had it after a salad of shredded green cabbage shredded red kale julienne carrots julienne sweet potatoes / gave a sweetness that made it not need a dressing
grape tomatoes sliced tomatoes I really enjoyed my 99% completely raw dinner, I realize that the vanilla was not raw. Next time I will use the bean, just didn't have any. Thanks for all of your help Trive, dinner was a success and I didn't waste the persimmons! Re: Persimmons

Date: November 11, 2009 01:03PM I actually eat them like an apple. They are yummy that way! Although, they can be a little messy. But, they are just as good on their own as they are in a recipe. "With life as short as a half taken breath, don't plant anything but love."- Rumi  Re: Persimmons

Date: February 03, 2010 12:38AM Kaci, If they're puckering, they haven't rippened. They are super sweet with a hint of pungency that makes it unique. The Roma tomato-looking ones have to be soft before eating. The beefsteak-looking ones can be eaten without waiting.
I love persimmons cut up and and I can eat 3-4 or more in one sitting. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
