Persimmons have high nutritional value. Persimmon is rich in sucrose, glucose, fructose, protein, carotene, vitamin C, citrulline, iodine, calcium, phosphorus and iron. The contents of vitamins and sugar are about 1 ~ 2 times higher than those of ordinary fruits, and other ingredients are higher than those of apples except zinc and copper, so persimmon enjoys the reputation of "sacred product in fruit".
Persimmon is a good food therapy, and persimmon leaves can also be used as medicine. Modern research has confirmed that persimmon leaves contain a lot of protein, vitamin C, rutin and other substances, which can promote metabolism, lower blood pressure, soften blood vessels, increase coronary blood flow and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Drinking 20g persimmon leaf soup every day, or boiling water as tea, has a certain health care effect.

Precautions for eating persimmons:
1, don't eat persimmon on an empty stomach.
Persimmon contains more tannic acid and pectin. In the case of fasting, they will form insoluble precipitates of different sizes under the action of gastric acid. If these deposits can't reach the small intestine through pylorus, they will stay in the stomach and form gastric persimmon stones. If the stomach persimmon stone cannot be discharged naturally, it will cause digestive tract obstruction, severe pain in the upper abdomen, vomiting and even hematemesis.
2, persimmon skin is best not to eat.
Tannic acid in persimmon is mostly concentrated in the skin. When the persimmon is astringent, it is impossible to remove all the tannic acid. If you eat it together with the skin, it is easier to form stomach persimmon stones.
3. Persimmons should not be eaten more.
A large amount of tannic acid contained in persimmon can form compounds that the human body cannot absorb with minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and iron in food. Eating too many persimmons can easily lead to mineral deficiency.
