The Fine Art Of Persimmon Raiding For Adventure And Full Bellies
Wednesday, October 24th, 2012
Have you ever had one of the wonderfully goo-filled sweet bags of orange flesh we call persimmons? Whether they’re of the oriental or American variety, they’re pretty amazing.
But do you realize they taste approximately 15% better when when you don’t just plop down your hard earned cash for them, but instead find a free-growing tree overfilling with the fruit and pick your fill?
Yesterday I had the great pleasure of returning to a full persimmon tree I’d discovered on an earlier bike trip around Austin, Texas. This time, though, I took some friends and we got about $150 of free fruit for our efforts.
For five hungry raw foodists, there are not many better finds.
Check out the video below to see how it all went down.
