When to eat dried persimmon

Although persimmon cakes are very delicious, everyone must understand the relevant taboos of persimmon cakes when eating them, because persimmon cakes also have certain taboos. For example, persimmon cakes cannot be eaten with crabs, otherwise diarrhea symptoms may occur. At the same time, persimmon cake is also a cold food, so people should not eat persimmon cake on an empty stomach. So when can you eat dried persimmons?

Can persimmon be eaten on an empty stomach?

Can't. Persimmon cake contains persimmon tannin and a soluble astringent called red tannin, and these two substances will condense into lumps when they come into contact with stomach acid. Therefore, if you eat persimmon cake on an empty stomach, these two substances will combine with stomach acid to form hard lumps, which we usually call "persimmon stones". Persimmon stones can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as stomach pain, nausea, etc. Therefore, we cannot eat persimmon cakes on an empty stomach, and we cannot eat a large amount of persimmon cakes at one time on an empty stomach.

When is the best time to eat dried persimmons?

When is the best time to eat persimmons? Do not eat persimmon cakes on an empty stomach. Most people should eat them one hour after a meal to avoid upsetting the stomach.

For those who are losing weight, it is more appropriate to eat a moderate amount before meals. The tannic acid in persimmons can form compounds with calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron and other minerals in food that cannot be absorbed by the human body, making these nutrients unusable. Therefore, eating too much persimmons can easily lead to a deficiency of these minerals. Because it contains more sugar, people will feel fuller after eating persimmons than eating the same amount of apples or raw pears, which will affect appetite, reduce the intake of regular meals, and control calorie intake. Of course, those who are losing weight must not eat persimmon cakes. Persimmon cakes are high in calories and sugar. Be careful not to gain weight if you eat too much. Eating one a day is enough.

In addition, persimmons are high in sugar and pectin, and some of them will always remain in the mouth after eating, especially in the gaps between teeth. Coupled with the weakly acidic tannic acid, it is easy to erode the teeth and form caries. Therefore, it is advisable to drink a few sips of water or rinse your mouth in time after eating.

How to store dried persimmons

1. Store in sealed containers

Sealing is the first and foremost condition for preserving persimmon cakes. Freshly made persimmon cakes can be placed in a jar or a sealed box. Because the sealed environment can prevent the persimmon cakes from being infected by water vapor or other bacteria, the persimmon cakes can remain in the same environment for a long time, thus maintaining a good condition. When storing persimmon cakes in jars, in order to prevent the persimmon frost from melting due to the high moisture content of the persimmon cakes and affecting their appearance, some drier persimmon peels can be mixed in with the persimmon cakes.

2. Store in a ventilated and dry place

The sealed persimmon cakes should then be placed in a ventilated and dry place. It is best to place them on a shelf in a high place to prevent water from accidentally seeping in.

3. Store in a cool and low temperature place

Note: avoid direct sunlight and place it in a cool place to ensure a relatively low temperature. Direct sunlight will increase the temperature of the persimmons, and the high temperature will cause the persimmons to produce substances that cause them to deteriorate, so avoid direct sunlight.

4. Refrigerate or freeze

The white frost on the surface of persimmon is afraid of heat. It will disappear once it gets heated. The dried persimmons turned red instead of white. Persimmon cakes must not be heated, but can be refrigerated or frozen.
