1. Taboos to eat persimmons
1. You can't eat persimmons on an empty stomach
Persimmons contain more tannic acid and pectin, which will form lumps with different sizes under the action of gastric acid on an empty stomach. If these lumps can't reach the small intestine through pylorus, they will stay in the stomach and form gastric persimmon stones. Small stomach persimmon stone is about the same size as apricot kernel at first, but it will accumulate bigger and bigger. 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.
Second, eat persimmons in moderation
Tannic acid in persimmons can form compounds that cannot be absorbed by the human body with minerals such as calcium, zinc, magnesium and iron in food, so these nutrients cannot be utilized, so eating persimmons can easily lead to the lack of these minerals. Because persimmons contain more sugar, people feel more full when eating persimmons than when eating the same number of apples and pears, which will affect their appetite and reduce the intake of dinner. It is generally believed that in the case of non-fasting, it is advisable to eat persimmon no more than 2 grams each time.
Third, rinse your mouth after eating persimmons
Persimmons are high in sugar and pectin. After eating persimmons, some of them are always left in your mouth, especially between your teeth, and weak tannic acid can easily erode your teeth and form dental caries. Therefore, you should drink a few mouthfuls after eating persimmons or rinse your mouth in time.
Fourth, you can't eat persimmon peel
Some people think that chewing persimmon peel while eating persimmon is more delicious than eating persimmon alone. In fact, this way of eating is actually unscientific. Because most of the tannic acid in persimmon is concentrated in persimmon skin, it is impossible to remove all the tannic acid in persimmon when it is astringent. If it is eaten together with the skin, it is easier to form stomach persimmon stone, especially when the astringency removal process is not perfect, its skin contains more tannic acid.
5. Don't eat persimmons with crabs, fish and shrimps
In traditional Chinese medicine, crabs and persimmons are cold foods, so they can't be eaten together. From the point of view of modern medicine, crabs, fish and shrimps with high protein are easily solidified into pieces under the action of tannic acid, that is, stomach persimmon stone.
sixth, people with diabetes should avoid eating persimmons
Persimmons contain 1.8% sugar, and most of them are simple disaccharides and monosaccharides (such as sucrose, fructose and glucose), which are easily absorbed after eating and make blood sugar rise. For diabetics, especially those with poor blood sugar control are more harmful.
