It is not recommended to eat persimmons and crabs together. Persimmons are sweet and cold in nature, while crabs are also salty and cold in nature. The two are in conflict with each other in nature and taste. Eating too much of the same food can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort. In addition, the tannic acid in persimmons will also interact with the food in crabs. The protein reacts and forms substances that are not suitable for digestion, which can easily cause discomfort to the human body. Especially people with poor gastrointestinal problems and sensitive constitutions should avoid eating persimmons and crabs together.

How long it takes to eat persimmons after eating crabs is mainly related to the individual’s digestive ability and the amount of food consumed.

Generally speaking, you can eat persimmons two hours after eating crabs, but for the sake of safety, it is best to eat them after 4 hours. It is better to eat persimmons after an hour, but for some people with poor digestive function, it may take about 12 hours before eating persimmons.
