Persimmons are perhaps the most hauntingly delicious fruits on earth. There’s a good reason why it is called ‘Nature’s Candy’ and ‘The Fruit of the Gods’! It is rich in minerals calcium and phosphorus, helps boost your hemoglobin count and prevents the adverse effects of anemia, while Vitamin A and carotene content in the fruit helps strengthen your eyesight and heart muscles and promotes the smooth functioning of body processes. Also, vitamin C content in the fruit enhances your immunity substantially. Needless to say, it has all my cravings and attention fixed on it! So here’s a haiku celebrating my favourite fruit:
“February fog
a sweet, persimmon candies
because of the fruit!”
