In the temperate zone, a broadly applied macrobiotic diet includes whole grains, beans, vegetables of all kinds (except nightshades, see page 176) both cooked and raw, fresh fruit, nuts, sea vegetables, soy products, unrefined oils, a minimum of seasonings, and fish if desired.

Instead of robbing your body of its vital, essential nutrients as white sugar does, whole, fresh fruit is filled with vitamin C. Linus Pauling did ground-breaking work in the field of vitamin research, and his studies and others confirm the necessity of adding large quantities of vitamin C to your diet. This can be taken in supplements, to be sure, but remember that fruit is chock-full of it. Few things beat the taste of an organically grown apple fresh from the tree, or the first new strawberries of the season.

In addition, you should have at least four glasses of mixed vegetable juice per day and two glasses of fresh fruit juice per day, all organic. There are a lot of different vegetables and fruits to choose from. The heart of this anti-aging program is cleansing with juices. I found that when I was taking all the right foods and supplements and exercising, my health still didn't improve. When I started juicing, I noticed a difference. And when I concentrated the juices with extra chlorophyll, that made the biggest difference . . .

When buying persimmons, select those that are very firm and colorful. Don't buy those that have started to ripen up because they may be bruised. Allow the persimmon about three or four days to ripen at room temperature. When you are convinced that the persimmon is ripe enough to use, wait another day or two.

They are nearly always eaten out of hand or used as a fresh fruit, since they dissolve when cooked and are not suitable for drying in the sun to be marketed as dried fruit. The European plums have a milder flavor and a meatier texture. Some varieties are quite good when eaten out of hand, but most are at their best when cooked or baked. These are the only types that are sun-dried and sold as dried fruit. When shopping for plums, select those that have good color, are at least medium-sized, and are unbruised. Remember to avoid buying the first plum varieties that arrive in market in early May.

As early as 1941, while he was Senior Medical Officer on a battleship, there was a scarcity of fresh fruit and vegetables, and he "found such bran invaluable for correcting the constipation [of] the ship's company.... The sailors loved this stuff by comparison with purgatives.... I think it is a great tragedy of our present day that, with the Medical Research Council showing at least IS percent of the population to be on regular purgatives, this precious material is ever lost through the manufacture of white flour.

In the purchase of almost any other fresh fruit, there are several good varieties to choose from, but when it comes to cherries, it's a one-horse race. The Bing variety is in a class all by itself. The rest of the cherry varieties are either also-rans or never-rans. The Bing is the tastiest, firmest, meatiest, and largest cherry grown. There are two light-colored or white varieties of cherries—the Napoleons (Royal Anne's) and the Raniers. These attractive cherries are cream-colored and sport a red cheek. They have good size and a fairly good flavor.

Not akin to any other kind of fresh fruit, it is related to the ebony tree. Just as ebony wood is highly prized for making furniture, persimmon wood is highly prized for making heads for golf clubs. All of our commercially grown persimmons are produced in California because the fruit of the persimmon trees that grow wild in the Deep South are too small and fragile to have any commercial value. Persimmons have a rather short season; they are in the market from October to January and a few are brought in from Chile in the spring.
