It takes 3 minutes to prepare, and after setting in the fridge for 2 hours, we can enjoy it.
Persimmons provide minerals like potassium and vitamins like vitamin C, useful for combating water retention. They also improve liver function, helping to get rid of toxins. Additionally, they are a good source of fiber, which is valuable for regular bowel movements.
Persimmons are quite energizing due to their high sugar content: Therefore, the consumption of persimmons is not recommended for those with diabetes or obesity but recommended in cases of lack of appetite, psychological or physical stress, and sports.
