Are persimmons high in calories?

Persimmons actually have a relatively high nutritional value, but they are not high-calorie foods. They are higher in sugar. However, although persimmons are good, you cannot eat too many of them, especially if you are on an empty stomach. You cannot eat persimmons, and you cannot eat unripe persimmons either.

1. Low in calories, but high in sugar. Every 100 grams of persimmon contains 105.00 calories, which is not very high.

Persimmons have high nutritional value and are rich in VC. Every 100 grams of persimmons contains 49 to 72 grams of VC, which is twice that of oranges, eight times that of bananas, and ten times that of grapes. Persimmons also contain a large amount of flavonoids, tannins and other phenolic substances, which can inhibit platelet aggregation, prevent low-density lipoprotein oxidation, and soften blood vessels.

2. According to measurements, 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 milligrams of phosphorus, 8 milligrams of iron, 10 milligrams of calcium, 16 milligrams of vitamin C, and also contains carotene and other nutrients. It can be eaten raw, processed into persimmon cakes and persimmon puddings, and can also be used to make wine, vinegar, etc.

3. Persimmon is not only rich in nutrients, but also has high medicinal value. Raw persimmon can clear away heat and detoxify, and is a good medicine for lowering blood pressure and stopping bleeding. It has a good effect on treating hypertension, hemorrhoidal bleeding, and constipation. In addition, burdock and persimmon leaves are very valuable medicinal materials.

4. Although persimmons are good, you cannot eat too many of them, nor can you eat them on an empty stomach, and you should avoid eating them with acidic foods. Because persimmons contain a large amount of tannic acid, gum and pectin, the tannic acid will precipitate and condense into lumps under the action of gastric acid in the stomach and remain in the stomach, forming "gastric persimmon stones". Gastric persimmon stones will become stronger and harder to crush. They can cause congestion, edema, erosion, and ulcers of the gastric mucosa. In severe cases, they can cause gastric perforation.

5. In addition, be careful not to eat unripe persimmons, because the tannic acid content in unripe persimmons is as high as about 25%, while ripe persimmons only contain 1%. In addition to not eating acidic foods immediately after eating persimmons, you should also avoid taking certain medicines at the same time.
