It’s Peak Persimmion Season: Boost Your Glutathione with this Fun Food

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Have you ever tried persimmons? They are a fun food.

They are also a glutathione boosting food too.

In addition to being a food with vitamin A, C, Copper and B6, they have lutein. Lutein is essential for eye health and may lower your risk for cataracts.

They also have more fiber than any other fruit except blackberries and raspberries.

If you count callories, they only have 120.

How do you know if it is ripe?

Hachiya persimmons should be deep red-orange in color and so soft that it might feel like it will be damaged if you pick it up. Oh yea, you eat them with a spoon.

If you find the Fuyu persimmons, they will still be firm when they are ripe.

Unlike supplements, it is unlikely you will overdose on the vitamins when taken as your food. The bonus is that it helps boost your glutathione as well.

In one study using rats, dried persimmons were found to increase the antioxidant glutathione levels. They should be a seasonal part of your glutathione boosting diet.

Enjoy.

Good health to you.

Imagine dripping Tabasco sauce on your tongue and tasting hot doughnut glaze. Or imagine a glop of lemon sorbet in a glass of Guinness tasting like a chocolate shake.
This was the proclamation of a New York Times article (URL Not included for your protection as it had annoying Popups, MFA and Spam Ads as one of the links.)

Nothing is quite as ulterior as a fruit that makes lemons taste sweet.

A new urban sport has emerged from the use of this fruit. It is called flavor tripping. A party is centered around using the fruit and tasting foods. Admission to the party costs about $15.

Where can you learn more about the Synsepalum dulcificum berry of Gahna?

http://www.miraclefruitman.com/ has them for about $90 including shipping and handling for about 30 berries.

Warning…the article did mention some didn’t like the lingering effects of the berry.
Eat something sweet and it may overdo the sensation.

If you know of the berry, please let others know your thoughts.
