Persimmon and crab are two delicious ingredients. Persimmons are rich in water, sweet and juicy, and crabs are delicious and nutritious. When the two meet, they will produce harmful chemical reactions.
Persimmon is rich in tannic acid, while crab is rich in protein. When tannic acid meets protein, it will form an indigestible precipitate, which will not only hinder the absorption of nutrients, but also cause stomach discomfort, and even lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.
More seriously, tannic acid in persimmon will react with calcium ions in crab to produce insoluble calcium tannic acid. This will not only reduce the nutritional value of crabs, but also form stones in the gastrointestinal tract, which will do great harm to health.
Therefore, in order to avoid these adverse consequences, it is best not to eat crabs when eating persimmons. If you accidentally eat both at the same time, it is recommended to drink more water to promote digestion and seek medical advice in time to prevent accidents.
Except crabs, persimmons can't be eaten with the following foods:
High protein food: such as eggs, milk, bean products, etc. Protein in these foods will react with tannic acid in persimmon to form indigestible substances, which will cause indigestion.
Acidic food: such as vinegar, lemon, orange, etc. These foods will enhance the tannic acid activity in persimmon and aggravate the stimulation to gastrointestinal tract.
Foods rich in iodine: such as laver and kelp. Tannic acid in persimmon will react with iodine to produce insoluble iodide, thus reducing the absorption and utilization rate of iodine.
Dear friends, for your health, you must pay attention to the collocation when eating persimmons. Only a reasonable diet can make the delicious and nutritious persimmon play its greatest role.
