Why can't you eat persimmons on an empty stomach?
I believe most people know that we cannot eat persimmons on an empty stomach. Generally speaking, we can eat persimmons about one or two hours after meals. Due to the high concentration of gastric acid on an empty stomach, eating persimmons at this time will accelerate gastrointestinal peristalsis and even cause acid reflux, which can easily induce various gastrointestinal diseases.

Persimmons contain tannic acid, which reacts with protein and calcium salts in seafood. thus forming a precipitate. This will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa and easily induce intestinal diseases. Moreover, seafood and persimmons are eaten cold, which can easily lead to aggravation of the cold in the body, so they are not suitable for eating together.
