Persimmons are a favorite fruit of many people because they are sweet and easy to eat. However, when eating them, you need to pay attention to the following taboos:

Do not eat when hungry

Because persimmons contain a lot of tannin and pectin, if eaten on an empty stomach, they will coagulate under the effect of stomach acid. If these coagulated masses cannot reach the small intestine through the pylorus, they will remain in the stomach and form stones there.

If this stone is not excreted naturally, it will cause digestive tract obstruction, causing symptoms such as upper abdominal cramps, vomiting, and even vomiting blood...

Do not eat persimmon peel

Most of the tannin in persimmons is concentrated in the peel. When removing the astringent taste of persimmons, it is impossible to remove all the tannin. Therefore, you should not eat the persimmon peel. If you eat the whole peel, it can easily form stones in your stomach.

Do not eat persimmons with crab dishes.

In Oriental medicine, crab and persimmon are both cold foods, so they cannot be eaten together.

From a modern medical perspective, crabs, fish, and shrimp are rich in protein, which under the effect of tannin in persimmons can easily lead to precipitation, forming stones in the stomach.

People with diabetes, diarrhea, and stomach disease should avoid eating persimmons.

Persimmons contain 10.8% carbohydrates, most of which are simple disaccharides and monosaccharides, so they are easily absorbed after eating, causing blood sugar to rise. For people with diabetes, especially those with poor blood sugar control, it is extremely harmful.

In particular, people with diarrhea, weak body, postpartum women and people with colds should not eat; people with poor stomach function, chronic gastritis, indigestion, people with stomach surgery should also not eat.

Do not eat persimmons with goose meat at the same time.

Goose meat is rich in protein, high quality protein. When protein meets tannin in persimmons, it easily condenses into tannic acid protein, accumulates in the stomach, and in severe cases can cause death.

Do not eat persimmons when drinking alcohol

Persimmons are cold, while alcohol is spicy, slightly bitter, hot and toxic. When alcohol enters the stomach, it stimulates intestinal secretions. Tannin in persimmons enters the stomach and forms a viscous, sticky substance that easily combines with cellulose to form blood clots, which are difficult to digest and cannot be excreted. Over time, this will cause intestinal obstruction.
