- Do not eat persimmons with crab, because the protein in the crab will settle and solidify into an indigestible substance. If the solidified substance remains in the intestines for a long time, it will ferment, causing the eater to experience nausea, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea... that is food poisoning.
- Do not eat persimmons with potatoes, because after eating potatoes (sweet potatoes, potatoes...) the stomach will produce acid salts. Persimmons contain a lot of cellulose, phenol resin, fruit resin and acid salt water, which combine to form a jelly in the stomach.
