persimmons

HIYA!

One more that I've been wanting to say. Persimmons. Boy, they're delicious. I've been eating lots lately. But I've also been feeling like they're hard for me to digest. So last night I went online to look up something regarding this. Seems they've got lots of fiber, more than most fruits. And I've read where some people can't digest the fiber real well. One person said they should be peeled. I have been doing that already.

This morning I put five peeled fuyu persimmons in the blender along with a dash of cinnamon. Nice. I have liked bananas and cinnamon blended and one day recently thought that persimmons might be a good one too with cinnamon. Yep.

The hachiyas, you know, the ones that absolutely have to be soft before you even think about putting one in your mouth, are a real treat. Super. But one is enough. Two gets me a bit over full.

I read a while ago where a raw fooder suggests eating 8 persimmons for lunch, and says it's easy to digest!! The first time it occured to me that persimmons are hard for me to digest was when I had only five of the fuyu type and nothing else. The fuyu I remember in the US and in Japan are hard, and crunchy. Korea has those too. Wonderful. But they also have one that looks like fuyu but is soft like the hachiya. Just went out of season so it's the hachiyas and the harder, crunchier ones left. Very nice. And there's a guy selling dried hachiyas at the local market. Cheap cheap cheap. Go in to any store and they're so so so much more expensive. I wonder why this guy's are so cheap. I buy a bunch and share them with friends. Everyone loves them.

Okay, NOW I'll get on to that email about my boss and I. It's getting late. I want to get this done though.

Troy.
