Persimmons - Chinatown Chinese New Year Festive Bazaar


Persimmon is a commonly found dried fruit snack the Chinese eats during Chinese New Year. I remember as a young child, my Grandma used to wash the white sugary powders off the persimmons, and divided one into several portions so I could share them with my cousins. Persimmon is one of those fruit snacks eaten during Chinese New Year that brings back so many nostalgic childhood memories. 





These persimmons are grown & harvested all over China, from Manchuria to Yunnan. The dried fruit is great for asthmatic cough, chronic dysentery, hemorrhoids, blood in the urine.
