With the autumn wind blowing in September, a "golden age" of a fruit also appears.
Especially in the north, which has entered autumn, persimmons are like red lanterns scattered in the human world, from the big rivers and rivers, from east to west, rendering a country of red, yellow, orange and orange.
Of course, persimmon's "good days" are still very long.
The cold air from Siberia continues to come slowly, and these fresh persimmons are also quickly transformed from full and juicy to persimmon cakes with white frost, like a small honeypot that can sweeten teeth, sweetly preparing for most of China in winter.
It is the philosophy of life Chinese, and the sweet aesthetics of persimmons
Persimmons have accompanied the Chinese people through the vicissitudes of the past ten thousand years, since 10,000 years ago, persimmons have been unearthed in the mainland, and the autumn and winter of Chinese are inseparable from the company of persimmons.
For persimmons, people not only love its sweetness, but also give a lot of praise, whether it is persimmon "ruyi", or happy "persimmon" continuously, or want to "persimmon" into, good "persimmon" into pairs, ten thousand "persimmon" auspicious...
Strings of persimmons symbolize the most beautiful expectations of the Chinese people for the future.
However, there have always been many opinions about the taboo of persimmon consumption, such as persimmons can not be eaten on an empty stomach, persimmons can not be eaten with seafood, etc., in fact, is this really the case?
Persimmons can not be eaten on an empty stomach?
The reason why there is a common theory that you can't eat persimmons on an empty stomach is mainly because many people think that persimmons contain more tannic acid.
If consumed on an empty stomach, it is likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort due to irritation of the gastric mucosa.
In fact, for persimmons that are not fully ripe or have not been deastringent, if they are eaten on an empty stomach with weak gastrointestinal function, it is indeed possible to cause stomach discomfort.
However, if you eat persimmons that are fully ripe or have been completely deastringent, you can eat a small amount even on an empty stomach, but remember not to be greedy.
Persimmons are more cold, and one-time excessive consumption, whether on an empty stomach or not, may form an adverse irritation to gastrointestinal health.
Can't persimmons be eaten with seafood?
Many people have heard that eating persimmons with seafood will form stomach stones.
The reason for this view is mainly because persimmons contain more tannic acid, if eaten with seafood, tannic acid and seafood protein binding reaction may form a certain precipitate, the so-called stomach stones.
However, the vast majority of persimmons on the market have been deastringentized, and if you accidentally eat a small amount of seafood and do not cause discomfort symptoms, you don't have to be too nervous.
If it is not clear how ripe the persimmons are and whether they have been deastringent, they should be avoided for safety reasons.
Diabetes can not eat persimmons?
Fully ripe soft persimmons are very sweet and delicious to eat, and many people think that diabetics should not eat persimmons at all.
In fact, although the taste of persimmons is relatively sweet, the glycemic index of persimmons themselves is not very high. For people with stable diabetes, it is possible to consume a small amount of persimmons.
Persimmon peel can not be eaten?
Persimmon peels are not completely inedible.
In order to ensure the taste and reduce the intake of tannic acid, it is usually recommended that people eat persimmon pulp after peeling the persimmon.
Otherwise, it is likely to cause oral discomfort due to the taste of the persimmon skin being too astringent.
Persimmons can be described as the sweetness that cannot be missing in the autumn and winter seasons of the north
