What can't be eaten with persimmons?

Persimmons are rich in nutrients, but to eat them healthily, you need to be careful about some foods that are incompatible with persimmons. Since persimmons contain a large amount of tannic acid, it is best not to eat them together with foods rich in calcium and protein, such as crabs, fish, kelp, etc., otherwise insoluble complexes will be generated, affecting human health.

1. It is best not to eat persimmons with high-protein foods such as milk, crabs, fish, shrimps, etc.: Chinese medicine believes that crabs and persimmons are both cold foods, so they cannot be eaten together. From the perspective of modern medicine, crabs, fish, and shrimps that are high in protein can easily coagulate into lumps under the action of tannic acid, namely gastric persimmon stones. In this case, symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea can easily occur.

2. Persimmons cannot be eaten with sweet potatoes and spinach: Sweet potatoes are foods that contain a lot of starch. Eating them will cause a large amount of gastric acid to be produced in the stomach, while persimmons contain more tannins and pectin. When gastric acid, tannins and pectin meet, coagulation will occur, forming insoluble hard lumps - gastric persimmon stones.

3. It is best not to eat persimmons with vinegar. It is also best not to eat vinegar before or after eating persimmons, otherwise the persimmon gum contained in the persimmons will react with acetic acid to form lumps that remain in the human stomach.

4. Persimmon and wine: Wine tastes sweet, spicy, slightly bitter, very hot and poisonous, while persimmon is cold in nature, so the two foods cannot be eaten at the same time. Many people like to eat meat as a side dish when drinking. Moreover, alcohol entering the stomach stimulates increased intestinal secretion, and the tannic acid in persimmons will form stones when it meets stomach acid.
