Persimmons - Beautiful, but Beware!

There are two kinds of persimmons,  Hachiya and Fuyu. Fuyus are rounder, firmer, and can be eaten like an apple. Hachiyas are more acorn shaped and should look like an over ripe tomato when ready to use. Cut open and scoop out the pulp. Very Tasty. To me they are quite reminiscent of pumpkin, only better, because I really don't like pumpkin.

How to Prepare Sprouted Chickpea/Garbanzo Flour

Sprouted chickpeas (garbanzo beans) are chock full of wonderful nutrients, however, have never been a favorite of mine in their raw state. But, aside from hummus, they are awesome when used in cakes, cupcakes, breads and pizza crusts, imparting a really nice "cake-like" texture. They are versatile and can be used freshly sprouted and ground, dehydrated whole, then frozen, and re-hydrated when needed, or dehydrated and ground into a beautiful flour.  I suggest you experiment with all of these beautiful textures to see how they work.
