Persimmon itself is low in fat and calories. 100g provides 74 calories, which can be consumed quickly after eating. In terms of calories, eating persimmons properly will not lead to obesity.

But you can't eat more persimmons. Tannic acid in persimmon can form compounds that cannot be absorbed by human body with minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and iron in food, so that these nutrients cannot be utilized. Eating more persimmons can easily lead to the lack of these minerals. It is generally believed that in the case of non-fasting, it is appropriate to eat no more than 200 grams of persimmons at a time.

Eating persimmons is taboo

1, don't eat persimmons on an empty stomach.

Because persimmon contains more tannic acid and pectin, it will form lumps of different sizes under the action of gastric acid on an empty stomach. If these masses can't reach the small intestine through pylorus, they will stay in the stomach and form gastric persimmon stones.

Step 2 rinse your mouth after eating

Persimmons are rich in sugar and pectin. After eating persimmons, some of them are always left in the mouth, especially in the teeth. Adding weakly acidic tannic acid, it is easy to corrode the teeth and form dental caries. Therefore, it is advisable to drink a few mouthfuls of water after eating persimmons or rinse your mouth in time.

3, persimmon skin can not be eaten

Some people think that chewing persimmon skin while eating persimmon is more delicious than eating persimmon alone. In fact, this way of eating is unscientific. Because most of the tannic acid in persimmon is concentrated in the skin, it is impossible to remove all the tannic acid when persimmon is astringent. If the skin is eaten together, it is easier to form stomach persimmon stone, especially when the astringency removal process is not perfect, and its skin contains more tannic acid.

4. Avoid eating with crabs, fish and shrimps.

In traditional Chinese medicine, crabs and persimmons are cold foods and cannot be eaten together. From the point of view of modern medicine, high-protein crabs, fish and shrimps are easy to solidify into blocks under the action of tannic acid, that is, stomach persimmon stone.
