Paul Pepper: Sarah Eber, RD, "Fall Fruit" & Marilyn McLeod, LWVCBC, "October Events"

Why is it that it's recommended you don't eat the fruit from a persimmon tree until after the first frost?

Once that happens, though, "they're really sweet - they're like an unsung fruit in the state of Missouri." Also, MARILYN McLEOD - dressed as a suffragette - let's us know about two events next week, and one the following week, that will get you ready for the election in November! (5:03) October 3, 2022
