I try to eat 30+ different plant foods per week because dietary diversity is good for the microbiome. Partner A is picking up weird produce to support my goals. Last week: a persimmon! Neither of us had ever had one; it was pretty good but with an astringent after-effect (possibly it was supposed to ripen longer). I was thinking it was weird that persimmons are a pretty well-known fruit given that Americans never actually eat them in my experience, and unlike figs they don't even have a famous cookie to help them out, but apparently they're used more in other parts of the country.
