One. Eating restrictions1. It is best not to eat persimmons on an empty stomach.Persimmons contain a large amount of persimmon tannins, which coagulate when mixed with acid.
When you eat a large amount of persimmons on an empty stomach, the persimmon tannins will condense with stomach acid, forming hard lumps, ranging from the size of a peach pit to the size of a fist, and gradually increase, making it difficult to excrete.
Therefore, you should not eat too much persimmon at once, and it is better to eat it after a meal, because at this time, the stomach acid has mixed with food, so it is less likely to form "persimmon stones".2. Persimmons should not be eaten with the skin.Some people feel that chewing persimmon skin while eating persimmons is more flavorful, but this is not a scientific way.Because most of the tannins in persimmons are concentrated in the skin. When persimmons are peeled, the tannins cannot be completely removed. If you eat the skin together, it is more likely to form stomach stones, especially when the peeling process is not perfect, the skin contains more tannins.
Two. People who should not eat persimmonsPeople with chronic gastritis, indigestion, and low gastric function, as well as those with external wind, cold, cough, and fever, should not eat persimmons.People with weak constitutions, pregnant women, and women during menstruation should not eat persimmons.
