High Fiber Fruit #10: Persimmons
This sweet, crunchy, orange fruit is typically seen during the fall season. The persimmon has several species: Asian and North American. The Asian persimmon is the common one seen in supermarkets, and they look similar to a tomato except orange in color. Eaten with their skin, the persimmon contains about 6 grams of fiber. This fruit is usually eaten in minimal amounts due to its fructose content.
As persimmons are a great source of fiber, they contain an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and manganese. Due to its manganese and vitamin C content, they help to improve bone health, reduce inflammation, and disease risk.
