How long should it take before eating crabs and persimmons?

Although "eat" is a simple word, it means a lot. Everyone thinks they understand and know how to eat. Little do people know that some people have conducted surveys and studies have shown that most people do not know how to eat at all. They just eat blindly and do not know how to think about how to eat in a way that is more beneficial to ourselves, what things cannot be eaten together, etc. We need to understand all these, which is related to our life and health. Let’s take a look at how long it takes before crabs and persimmons can be eaten.

At present, food in my country is very abundant, people's living standards are very high, and they consume a lot of food in their daily lives. However, eating some foods at the same time poses a great threat to people's health. Therefore, we need to strengthen scientific understanding. So how long should you wait after eating persimmons before eating crabs?

How long after eating persimmons can you eat crabs?

There is indeed scientific basis for the saying that you cannot eat persimmons after eating crabs. Some people used to believe that crab meat is rich in protein, while persimmons contain a large amount of tannic acid. If the two are eaten together, the tannic acid in the persimmons can cause the protein in the crab meat to coagulate into lumps, which are difficult to digest after eating. If they stay in the intestines for a long time, they will ferment and rot, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other discomforts. This statement is not true. If this is true, then persimmons are not only incompatible with crabs, but also with any protein-containing food such as meat, eggs, milk, etc. In that case, after eating persimmons, you would be unable to eat almost any food. In addition, crabs and persimmons contain slightly different nutrients, but do not contain any toxins themselves, and will not conflict with each other if eaten together.

Crabs and persimmons cannot be eaten together, mainly because these two foods are cold in nature. If eaten together, the gastrointestinal tract may not be able to handle it, causing symptoms such as stomach pain, especially for people with cold stomachs.

As for how long you should wait before eating persimmons after eating crabs, it depends on your individual digestive ability. It is generally recommended not to eat them on the same day, that is, there should be at least 12 hours between them. Of course, if your gastrointestinal function is good and you don’t eat too many crabs and persimmons, then it will be fine to wait for more than 4 hours. In addition, when eating crabs, you can add ginger, vinegar, etc. to drive away the cold, which will also be better for eating persimmons after a period of time.
