Persimmons are a healthy fall treat

American persimmon fruit is part of the fall landscape in the woods in many parts of the country and is loaded with nutrients. You can use the pulp for sweet treats including bread, cookies, pudding and pies. An unripe persimmon is very tart and will literally make your lips pucker.
