It’s the season to eat persimmons again!
(Be careful, don’t fall)
Although persimmons are delicious, some doubts should be solved before eating. "Permace not to be eaten on an empty stomach" "persimmons cannot be eaten with crabs"... does these statements make sense? How should we eat persimmons? Foodie Susu, come and popularize science!
Can’t eat persimmons on an empty stomach?
I don’t know when it started, but there has been a saying around me that “persimmons cannot be eaten on an empty stomach” and “eating persimmons will bring about persimmon stones”. emmm...The persimmons are so delicious, what's wrong with them?
Follow these statements, and will find that all the focus is on " Tannic acid " in the persimmon . What is tannic acid? Is there really such a great danger?
Tannic acid, also known as tannin , is the source of persimmon's astringent taste. In addition to persimmons, fruits such as grapes, hawthorns, pomegranates, and even the teas they drink are rich in tannins.
If a person eats too many persimmons at once, the tannic acid it contains will form insoluble precipitates in the stomach acid environment and protein . In addition, the large amount of pectin and fiber in the persimmons will easily form stomach stones. When the stomach stone cannot be eliminated in time, will cause stomach stones, leading to problems such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, obstruction, ulcers, etc.
High tannin foods do increase the risk of gastric persimmon stones. But now the persimmons we buy are mostly sweet persimmons or persimmons that have been artificially deafened. The tannin content is low. usually has no problems and can be eaten with confidence.
However, The gastrointestinal function of the elderly and children is usually weak, and eating persimmons on an empty stomach may easily cause discomfort . It is recommended to eat one at a time, do not eat too much at a time or eat it every day for several consecutive days, and do not eat persimmon skin.
Persimmons cannot be eaten with crabs?
It is the season for crabs now. There are rumors that "persimmon + crab = poison"... but it scares many foodies! Can crabs and persimmons really not be eaten together?
The answer is of course: it does not exist!
On the one hand, the seasons for persimmons and crabs to be on the market are both autumn. Because persimmons are rich in tannin, eating too much persimmons may cause stomach stones, and crabs are prone to sensitization. If they are not fresh enough or are not ripe, they may also lead to food poisoning. When these two meet, the probability of diarrhea after eating them is indeed greater. Perhaps this is the "experience" drawn by the ancients due to survivor deviations.
Otherwise, it is the above-mentioned tannic acid problem. If you eat high-protein foods with persimmons at the same time, the protein will condense, which will promote the formation of persimmon stones. (For the premise that there are too many persimmons, knock on the blackboard!)
For normal people, considering the number of persimmons and crabs you usually eat, this will not lead to such a situation. If you are a true persimmon enthusiast, after eating persimmons for a long time, you may suffer from persimmon or not.
