Besides its comforting flavor, persimmon is a small treasure trove of nutrients. Vitamin A, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, potassium, fiber… Its composition makes it a particularly interesting fruit to support two essential functions: vision and cardiovascular balance.
Why persimmon is a valuable ally for your eyes:
Few people know, but eye health starts with diet. Persimmon contains vitamin A and beta-carotene, two essential nutrients for maintaining normal vision, even in low light conditions. In a world dominated by screens, this is a very welcome benefit.
Its natural antioxidants also play a protective role against oxidative stress associated with pollution and aging. And the icing on the cake: it contains lutein and zeaxanthin, two plant compounds that naturally concentrate in the retina and help filter certain wavelengths of light. True eye care in a fruit!
