Persimmons
If you’re not too familiar with persimmons, you have to try them for yourself! They’re so tasty and the reason why I love them so much is because they’re sweet, mild, have honey-like flavor. A fun fact is that they’re actually a fruit from the berry family and are also a great source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
