　　Although persimmons are good, they have many taboos. Only by eating them properly can the edible and medicinal value of persimmons be fully utilized.

　　Avoid eating persimmons on an empty stomach, avoid eating too much, and avoid eating raw persimmons: Persimmons contain a large amount of pectin and persimmon phenol. Unripe persimmons also contain tannins (less than 1% when mature, and up to 25% when immature), which can condense into lumps when exposed to gastric acid.； When you eat too many persimmons, the clot will even turn into a hard lump - gastric persimmon stone. Its surface is rough and it constantly rubs the gastric mucosa, which can lead to erosion or ulcer of the gastric mucosa, causing vomiting of blood or blood in the stool and other damages.

　　It is not advisable to eat too much persimmon skin: Persimmon skin contains more tannins, which are more likely to combine with gastric acid to form gastric persimmon stones.

Eating them with persimmons, which are also cold in nature, will cause stomach cold. stomach ache , especially those with spleen and stomach deficiency should avoid； Moreover, the tannic acid and other components in persimmons will coagulate the protein in crabs, which may cause vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea Wait for adverse reactions.

　　Persimmons should not be eaten with dates, hawthorns, oranges, and pomegranates: plant-based gastrolithiasis is mostly caused by persimmons, hawthorns, and black dates, but can also be caused by oranges, pomegranates, etc. These fruits (especially immature fruits) have a high tannic acid content. When tannic acid comes into contact with gastric acid, it can form tannic acid protein, which is difficult to dissolve in water and is deposited in the stomach. After condensation with pectin and plant fiber, it forms stomach stones.

　　People with diabetes should not eat: Persimmons contain 10.8% of sugars, most of which are simple disaccharides and monosaccharides (such as sucrose, fructose, Grape sugar), so it is easy to increase blood sugar after eating.
