Nutritional value of persimmon:
Persimmons have high nutritional value. Ripe persimmons contain 15% sugar, 1.36% protein, 0.57% fat, as well as crude fiber, carotene, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other elements and multiple vitamins, especially vitamin C, which is 1-2 times higher than ordinary fruits.
Persimmons are rich in nutrients, bright in color, soft and juicy, sweet and delicious, and are loved by all ages. According to tests, every 100 grams of persimmon contains more than 15 grams of carbohydrates, 28 grams of sugar, 1.36 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat, 19 mg of phosphorus, 8 mg of iron, 10 mg of calcium, 16 mg of vitamin C, and also contains carotene and other nutrients. It can be eaten raw or processed into persimmon cakes and persimmon cakes, and can be used to make wine, vinegar, etc. Persimmons are not only rich in nutrients, but also have high medicinal value. Raw persimmon can clear away heat and detoxify. It is a good medicine for lowering blood pressure and stopping bleeding. It is useful for treating high blood pressure, hemorrhoid bleeding, constipate It has good curative effect. In addition, persimmon burdock and persimmon leaves are valuable medicinal materials. Although persimmons are good, they should not be eaten in large quantities, nor should they be eaten on an empty stomach, nor should they be eaten with acidic foods. Because persimmons contain a large amount of tannic acid, gum and pectin, the tannic acid will precipitate and condense into lumps in the stomach through the action of gastric acid, forming "gastric persimmon stones". Gastric persimmon stones will become more solid and difficult to crush, causing gastric mucosal congestion, edema, erosion, ulcers, and in severe cases, gastric perforation. In addition, be careful not to eat immature persimmons, because the tannic acid content in immature persimmons is as high as about 25%, while mature persimmons only contain 1%. In addition to not eating acidic foods immediately after eating persimmons, you also cannot take certain medicines at the same time.
There are thousands of varieties of persimmons, which are divided into two categories: astringent persimmons and sweet persimmons according to whether they can naturally remove astringency before they mature on the tree. Among them, astringent persimmons (most of the persimmons marketed in my country belong to this category) must be artificially deastringent after picking before they can be eaten. The material basis for the astringent taste of astringent persimmons is tannic acid (also known as tannic acid). Persimmons contain a lot of carbohydrates, 10.8 grams per 100 grams of persimmons, mainly sucrose, Grape Sugar and fructose, which is why people think persimmons are sweet. There are not many other nutrients in persimmons, and they only contain a small amount of fat, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin C. In addition, persimmons are rich in pectin, which is a kind of water-soluble dietary fiber and has a good laxative effect. It has a good effect on correcting constipation and maintaining the normal growth of intestinal flora.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that persimmons are sweet, astringent, and cold in nature. They have the functions of clearing away heat and dryness, moistening the lungs and reducing phlegm, softening hardness, quenching thirst and promoting body fluids, strengthening the spleen, treating dysentery, and stopping bleeding. They can relieve dry stools, hemorrhoid pain or bleeding, dry coughs, sore throats, and high blood pressure. Therefore, persimmon is a natural health food for patients with chronic bronchitis, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and internal and external hemorrhoids. If persimmon leaves are decoctioned or boiled as tea, they can also promote body metabolism, lower blood pressure, increase coronary blood flow, and relieve cough and reduce phlegm.
