Restrictions on persimmons

Persimmons are delicious and nutritious, and many people eat them because they are delicious.In fact, there are many precautions when eating persimmons, such as patients with gastritis and cold stomachs should avoid eating persimmons.The main restrictions on persimmons are related to food and incompatibility, so let's learn about them!

1. Dietary restrictions

1. It's best not to eat persimmons on an empty stomach.Persimmons contain a lot of persimmon tannins, which solidify into lumps when they come into contact with acid.When you eat a large amount of persimmons on an empty stomach, the tannins in persimmons will condense with stomach acid and form hard lumps. For example,Apricotslike a fist, and the bigger it gets, the harder it is to get rid of.Therefore, you should not eat too many persimmons at once, and you should eat them after a meal, because at this time the stomach acid has mixed with food, so it's less likely to form "persimmon stones".

2. Persimmons should not be eaten with the skin.Some people feel that eating persimmons while chewing the skin is more flavorful, but this is not scientific.Because the most tannins in persimmons are concentrated in the skin. When persimmons are ripened, the tannins cannot be completely removed, and eating with the skin increases the risk of forming stomach stones, especially when the ripening process is not perfect.

1. Persimmons should not be eaten with high-protein foods, such as crabs, fish, and shrimp.Traditional Chinese medicine says thatCrabsand persimmons are both cold foods, so they cannot be eaten together.From a modern medical perspective, high-protein foods like crabs, fish, and shrimp, when combined with tannins, easily form lumps in the stomach, which are called "stomach stones," and can cause stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.2.

andspinach.Sweet potatoes contain a lot of starch, which can cause a lot of stomach acid when eaten, and persimmons contain a lot of tannins and pectins. When stomach acid and tannins and pectins come into contact, they will form insoluble hard lumps, which are called "stomach stones."3. Persimmons should not be eaten withVinegareither. It's also best to avoid eating vinegar before and after eating persimmons. Otherwise, the tannins in persimmons will react with vinegar to form lumps in the stomach.
