Some people like to eat persimmons in winter. Eating persimmons in winter feels very different. Persimmons are rich in nutrients. The taste is also very good, soft every day. Persimmons are so delicious that you will inevitably end up eating a few more. So, can you eat more of these delicious persimmons? What will happen if you eat too much? Let’s find out together.
What will happen if you eat too many persimmons?
1. Eating too many persimmons will also affect the absorption of calcium and other minerals. The tannic acid in persimmons can form compounds with calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron and other minerals in food that cannot be absorbed by the body, making these nutrients unavailable. Therefore, eating more persimmons can easily lead to a deficiency of these minerals.
2. Because persimmons contain more sugar, people will feel fuller when eating persimmons than eating the same amount of apples and pears, which will affect appetite and reduce meal intake. It is generally believed that it is appropriate to eat no more than 200 grams of persimmons each time without fasting.
3. Persimmons contain a lot of pectin and tannic acid. The above substances can chemically react with gastric acid to form gel blocks that are difficult to dissolve, thus forming stomach stones.
4. Persimmons are cold in nature and should not be eaten by those suffering from stomach coldness. Ordinary people will experience corresponding discomfort if they eat too much, so good things should be eaten in moderation and not too much.
Will eating too many persimmons cause stones?
1. Eat persimmons on an empty stomach. Persimmons contain a large amount of persimmon gum, which will solidify into lumps when exposed to acid. When a large number of persimmons are eaten on an empty stomach, the persimmon gum in the persimmons will condense with gastric acid into hard lumps in the stomach, which can be as small as an apricot kernel or as large as an apricot kernel. Fist, and accumulate bigger and bigger, so that it cannot be discharged, which is called "gastric persimmon stone disease" in medicine. The patient shows severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. In severe cases, it can cause vomiting of blood and induce gastric ulcer. Therefore, do not eat too many persimmons at one time. Eat, and eat after meals, because at this time the gastric acid has been mixed with the food, and it is not easy to form "persimmon stones".
2. Some people feel that eating persimmons while chewing the skin is more delicious than eating persimmons alone. In fact, this way of eating is unscientific. Because most of the tannic acid in persimmons is concentrated in the skin, it is impossible to remove all the tannic acid from the persimmons when they are deastringent. If you eat the persimmons with the skin, it is more likely to form stomach stones, especially if the astringency removal process is not perfect. At this time, the skin contains more tannic acid.

It usually takes 5-7 days for soft persimmons.
