A few days ago, I went to buy fruit

In addition to the juicy Qiuyue pears that are in season now

The unique aroma of yuzu pomelo and the gem-like pomegranate

I actually saw it in a corner of the door.

Red and tender persimmons

Although the weather is much cooler than at the beginning of the month,

But sometimes I still sweat.

How come it’s persimmon season already?

People have always placed great expectations on persimmons, hoping that eating them will bring them happiness, fulfillment, and double happiness. However, there is much controversy over eating persimmons. Some people praise it for being delicious and nutritious, while others say it is unpalatable and harmful to health. Like all delicious foods, no matter what you eat, you must consider your body's tolerance and the amount you consume.

Persimmons are rich in vitamin C, mineral potassium, carotene and other ingredients. The carotene contained in persimmons can help us resist the damage of blue light to the retina, and some of it can be converted into vitamin A in the body, which can not only better protect eye health, but also promote skin health. The total phenols and flavonoids in persimmons have antioxidant effects, which can help us remove excess free radicals in the body and help prevent inflammatory responses in the body.

The pectin in persimmons is a soluble dietary fiber that can absorb water and swell, helping us feel full and promoting gastrointestinal motility; while the insoluble dietary fiber can stimulate the mechanical movement of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby helping us prevent and improve constipation. In addition, persimmons also contain sorbitol, which has a strong hydrophilicity and osmotic effect, can stimulate gastrointestinal motility, promote defecation, and improve intestinal flora.

After reading the above, friends who don't like persimmons must have a lot of objections! Persimmons are astringent! Persimmons hurt the stomach! Persimmons are high in sugar! In fact, these statements are not wrong. The astringency of persimmons is mainly due to the soluble tannins, or tannic acid, contained in them. Tannins will cause the protein in the saliva to condense into clumps, making people feel astringent. At the same time, they will also affect the action of gastric enzymes and cause stomach discomfort. There are two main ways to remove tannins. One is that tannins are mainly found in the peel, so it will be much better to eat it without the peel; the other is to artificially ripen and remove the astringency, such as putting it together with ripe bananas.

Whenever I make a fruit-themed dish, it’s always hard to recommend a recipe, because fruit is best eaten fresh! In this issue of micro-diet therapy, the editor still wants to preserve the original flavor of persimmons as much as possible. I recommend a persimmon coconut latte , which is also very convenient to make. It’s great for entertaining friends or drinking it by yourself~
