When it comes to what is an indispensable fruit for the Spring Festival, in addition to oranges and oranges, it is naturally indispensable to persimmons.
In the new year, eating persimmon cakes during the Spring Festival can be more "persimmon as desired".
Therefore, the New Year is approaching, if you can put such a plate of golden persimmon cakes in the living room, you will always be able to experience the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Especially from the frost to the Spring Festival, it is the best time to eat persimmon cakes, after this time, wait for another year.
In addition to eating persimmons directly, persimmons can also be made into persimmon cakes, and when persimmons are dried into persimmon cakes, a layer of white sugar frosting will be produced on the surface, called persimmon frosting.
The persimmon cream is collected and then processed to make persimmon frosted sugar, and this technique has also waited for Mr. Lu Xun's praise.
As Lu Xun said in "Immediate Diary":
"It's cold and delicate to eat, and it's a good thing... Jing Song (i.e., Lu Xun's wife Xu Guangping) said that this was a famous product of somewhere in Henan, made of persimmon cream; it was cold, and if there were some small sores on the corners of the mouth, it would be good to use this rubbing. ”
What are the nutrients for a persimmon?
From the perspective of nutrition, persimmons are rich in vitamin A, vitamin D, dietary fiber, potassium and copper trace elements, and have the effect of moisturizing the lungs and dissolving phlegm, moisturizing the intestines and so on.
Among them, persimmons have a higher sugar content, and can even reach 18.5%, which is why persimmons are particularly sweet to eat.
In addition, persimmons are also rich in β-carotene, with a content of 120 micrograms per 100 grams, which can effectively protect vision.
Persimmons are good, but there are also some "taboos"
1. People with bad stomach should not eat persimmons on an empty stomach
It is not suitable to eat persimmons directly on an empty stomach, which contains pectin and tannic acid to form lumps, and these lumps will stay in the stomach for a long time, causing chronic gastritis, and even inducing gastric ulcers and even gastric persimmon disease.
Therefore, if there is a friend with weak gastrointestinal function and excessive gastric acid secretion, it is still not advisable to eat persimmons on an empty stomach.
2. Patients with poor spleen and stomach function, anemia and diabetes should not eat more
Some people think that eating persimmons can promote metabolism and accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis, they will eat blindly, but they do not know that if the spleen and stomach function itself is relatively poor, or there are symptoms of anemia and hyperglycemia, you can not eat persimmons.
The reason why people with anemia cannot eat is that persimmons contain tannic acid, which will combine with iron in food, affect iron absorption, and then aggravate the problem of anemia.
People with high blood sugar or diabetes can not eat, the main factor is that the sugar content in persimmons is high, and most of them are glucose, sucrose and fructose, which can easily cause a sharp rise in blood sugar after eating.
3. Persimmon peel is best eaten less
Most of the tannic acid in persimmons is in the skin, and even if the persimmons are deastringent, they cannot be completely cleaned.
If it enters the stomach, it will react with protein under the action of stomach acid, producing substances that are not easy to digest and absorb, which will cause nausea, abdominal pain, bloating and other symptoms.
Persimmons, can't you eat them with crabs?
Many people believe that persimmons contain tannic acid, and crabs are rich in protein, and both are prone to sedimentation, which in turn will produce stomach stones under certain conditions.
This does happen, but only if the persimmons are high in tannic acid and need to be consumed in large quantities.
The tannic acid, that is, tannins, is the main source of persimmon's astringency, and to judge whether the persimmon tannic acid content is high, the easiest way is to ---- tongue, if the persimmon is very astringent, it means that the tannic acid content is high.
However, the persimmons that appear on the market now are usually deastringent, so they contain low tannic acid, so they do not have to worry too much about eating persimmons with crabs.
However, if you go to the mountains to pick wild persimmons yourself, or buy some persimmons grown by yourself on the side of the road, you may not be astringent.
In this case, it is recommended not to rush to eat, try to wait until it is fully cooked before eating.
