According to the US Institute of Nutrition (USDA), 100g of persimmons provide up to 55% of your daily vitamin A needs, supporting your vision and skin. However, not everyone should eat this fruit.
Dr. David Katz, nutritionist and director of Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center (USA), said: "oryngos have many health benefits, but due to their high tannin content (oryngos are a natural compound belonging to the group of polyphenols, with a sandy taste, commonly found in many plants such as roses, grapes, green tea, coffee, pomegranate, oat peel...), eating them incorrectly or eating too much can cause digestive disorders, even forming stomach stones".
People with stomach and intestinal diseases
Theannin in persimmons can combine with the citrus acid to form a hard mass, causing indigestion. For people with gastric ulcers, symptoms will get worse.
People with diabetes
Persimmons have a high glycemic index, which can easily cause a sudden increase in blood sugar. Therefore, diabetics should limit or consult a doctor before eating.
People who have just had surgery or have a weak body
Persimmons are weldable, easily causing colds, digestive disorders, and are not suitable for recovery.
People who eat when hungry
Eating persimmons on an empty stomach can cause tannin and pectin to combine with stomach acid, easily causing Esophagic or Stomach blockage.
Experts recommend that healthy people should only eat 12 ripe persimmons per day, preferably about 30 minutes after a main meal. Soaked or dried persimmons have a lower amount of tannins, making them safer than green, dried persimmons.
