Before carrying out such “therapy” it is necessary to make sure that there are no contraindications, and useful tips Our article will tell you how to properly use this tasty delicacy.

Persimmon has become quite firmly established in the winter diet of Russian people. This berry pleases us with its pleasant taste, beneficial properties and... however, that’s all. But is anything else needed?

Of course, it would be nice if persimmons also cost two or three times less, because this moment its cost is double or even triple the cost of oranges, tangerines, bananas and apples that are familiar to us. But there’s nothing you can do about the market, which means you’ll have to live with it.

However, given the relatively high cost of persimmons, it is perhaps worth getting to know them better in order to finally decide whether it is worth buying them at all or whether it is better to eat twice as much of your favorite citrus fruits, and even have a mango and pineapple snack.

In general, let's figure it out...

What vitamins and minerals are in persimmons?

If we speak without embellishment and unnecessary “marketing”, the vitamin and mineral composition of persimmon largely depends on natural conditions, in which it grew up, as well as from the conscientiousness of the farmers involved in its cultivation.

At the same time, some features of persimmon are visible even naked eye. For example, the bright orange color of the berry indicates huge reserves of beta-carotene and bioflavonoids. The rest is difficult to determine by appearance, but it is known that persimmon is “prone” to the accumulation of tocopherol (vitamin E), niacin (vitamin PP), ascorbic acid(vitamin C) and B vitamins.

As for minerals, persimmons, as a rule, contain the same amount of calcium as spinach, the amount of potassium in persimmons is approximately equal to oranges, and there is more iron than in parsley or pomegranate. There are also varieties of persimmon in which quite a lot of iodine accumulates during the ripening process.

In addition, persimmons necessarily contain dietary fiber and tannin.

Why do persimmons “knit” your mouth?

The reason is simple to the point of banality: persimmon astringents the mouth because it contains a lot of tannin.

It should be understood that not all varieties of persimmon are knitted. Moreover, what most often happens is that when unripe, the berry is incredibly tart, but after full ripening, not a trace of tannin remains (at least in terms of mouthfeel).

If we consider the process of “knitting” itself, we get the following picture: tannin, entering the mouth, begins to actively coagulate the proteins “living” on the mucous membrane, which gives rise to a feeling of viscosity.

Tannin partially reaches the stomach, but in most cases this is not enough to create any tangles and deposits there, with which all sorts of “experts” scare people. On the other hand, if you deliberately eat a kilogram or two of highly astringent persimmons, it will definitely not be pleasant. And if you also eat protein food before that, then a lump may form...

So it is best to eat ripe persimmons, which have either no or almost no tannin. In addition, you can choose a persimmon variety that does not knit even when unripe (Kaki, Sharon, etc.).

Well, if you have already purchased persimmon, and you need to get rid of its astringent properties at all costs, then you can use one of the following methods for destroying and neutralizing tannin:

• freeze (12 hours will be enough for almost any berry)
• put persimmons for several days in one bag or box with ripe apples, having previously closed it tightly
• soak in warm water for 10-12 hours (the option is not the best, but in the absence of time and a freezer it will do just fine)
• dry (turn into dried fruit) at 40-45 °C to retain maximum useful substances(it will take a long time to dry, but this product can be stored for months)

And, of course, we should not forget about the “Korolka” (pollinated fruit), which even in its green form has practically no astringent properties.

Persimmon during pregnancy

There is an opinion that you should not eat during pregnancy Exotic fruits. This “rule” also applies to persimmons. Therefore, the most ardent guardians folk traditions During pregnancy, persimmons themselves are almost not eaten, and they are not recommended to others.

We, on the contrary, consider ripe persimmons to be very useful product, which is no less suitable for pregnant women than for all other people. Moreover, persimmon can provide a woman with additional nutrients necessary for the development of a child, which otherwise would have to be literally “torn from the heart.” After all, a child growing in the womb almost always gets everything he needs. And if a woman loses something (calcium, iodine, fatty acid, vitamins, etc.), then only she herself will have to suffer.

If we talk about the specific benefits of persimmon for pregnant women, then several obvious points arise:

• beneficial effect on vision
• strengthening the walls of blood vessels and veins
• reducing digestive problems and eliminating constipation (with regular consumption of persimmons)
• saturating the body with easily digestible calcium and magnesium (one cannot be absorbed without the other)
• Some varieties of persimmon contain iron and thereby help maintain the ever-creeping downward level of hemoglobin in the blood
• helps remove excess water from the body (relieve edema)

Let us remind you once again that all this applies exclusively to ripe persimmon berries. Moreover, if you don’t like the taste of persimmon, then it’s clearly not worth trying to “help” yourself and your child in this way.

It is also important to understand that persimmons should be eaten separately from other foods. The exception is one berry after dinner, if you have an uncontrollable desire to eat cookies, sweets or something very sweet and unhealthy.

Persimmon for weight loss

It is believed that persimmons are too high in calories for weight loss diets. 100 grams of persimmon, depending on the variety and degree of ripeness, contains an average of 60-70 kcal. Which significantly exceeds the calorie content of the same oranges or apples.

However, if instead of standard sandwiches and tea (coffee) you eat 1-2 persimmon berries for breakfast, your weight will gradually begin to go away. After all, thanks to such a replacement, metabolism will improve, swelling will go away and the intestines will be cleansed. However, it should be borne in mind that persimmon is absorbed quite quickly. This means it’s better to stock up on one more berry for “second breakfast.” Otherwise, there is a chance to “grab” unhealthy and fatty foods before lunch (a kind of compensation).

Another option (and for greater effect it is better to use it in parallel with the first) is to eat persimmon instead of dinner. Moreover, you can eat up to a kilogram of this wonderful berry with a light heart.

The duration of such a diet is, in principle, limited only by your taste preferences and willpower. Typically, nutritionists recommend sticking to this method of eating for a week and “promise” an effect in the form of weight loss by 2-4 kilograms.

But if you like to eat persimmons instead of other foods, then do not deny yourself this pleasure. Just trust your body and give it what it wants.

Persimmon for diabetes

As you know, diabetics are recommended to eat less sugars in general and simple carbohydrates in particular. Persimmon is rich in both, so it is often classified as a food that is contraindicated for people suffering from diabetes. However, given the relatively low glycemic index of persimmons, we can recommend the following: be guided by your own feelings.

You shouldn’t throw away such a tasty and healthy “fruit” as persimmon from your life just because someone classified it as harmful products. Live by your wits.

Well, as an argument, one can cite the fact that fiber, which is abundant in persimmons, binds excess sugar and does not allow you to receive an excessive dose at once. Therefore, you can eat persimmons if you don’t rush and monitor your own condition (even through blood tests).

Good health to you! And ripe persimmons...

For a long time now I have preferred liquid soap to bar soap, so I periodically buy various soaps for the kitchen and bath. I came across this soap by accident... "Fix Price" , I was attracted by the inscription on the bottle that the soap was scented with oriental persimmon and almonds; the combination seemed quite interesting and curiosity overcame me! Eh, it’s a pity that I couldn’t smell it in the store, otherwise I definitely wouldn’t have bought it!

Price - 43 rubles , now 45!

Volume - 470 ml.

From the manufacturer:

Gentle cream soap with oriental persimmon and almond extracts will give your skin amazing sensations and gentle care.

Persimmon extract, containing antioxidants and vitamins, strengthens the skin and keeps it healthy and attractive.

Natural almond extract, rich in vitamins A, B and E, proteins and mineral salts, activates metabolic processes, improves skin tone and elasticity.

Enjoy the gentle protection of nature!

Mode of application:

Apply a small amount of soap to damp skin, rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Compound:

The packaging is normal! To be honest, I didn't like it at all. It looks cheap, although the soap is. I also don’t like the oblong shape, it doesn’t look very good. The dispenser is not problematic, it dispenses portions as required, does not jam or “spit”, but it is quite slippery, and it is not very convenient to use it!

Consistency. It is somewhat liquid, but in general, it is not much different from the structure of other soaps. The color is bright orange, really reminiscent of persimmon! The soap itself is soft, but not delicate. and very soapy!

Smell! I took this soap solely because I was interested in the scent. Will it really smell like real persimmon? But I was disappointed! It doesn't smell like persimmon or almonds, and not even close! The aroma is generally incomprehensible, but I’ve already heard it somewhere, in some soap for sure! Very strong, smells even through the dispenser, intrusive, it seemed to me that it smelled like something oriental, but too cheap and chemical. I don't like it. There is also a plus to such a strong aroma, I got used to using it to wash socks, panties and other small things and you know, thanks to the aroma, these things smell good after washing!

Properties. Action. The soap is very soapy! And kind of slippery! You can wash it off your hands for a long time and tediously and still some kind of film remains on your hands! For example, after using it I wash my hands with another liquid soap! I categorically do not accept this. It cleanses the skin of your hands carefully, does not dry it out, does not cause irritation, allergies, etc., but because of its slipperiness and soapiness, I did not like the effect of it! Wash your hands after soap? Well, I do not! As I wrote above, I started washing small things with it, and it suits me here, it washes well, and completely kills odors!

Is it economical? Rather yes than no! I’ve been using the soap for a little over a month and I still have half of it left, despite the fact that in addition to washing my hands, I also do laundry with it!

I won’t buy this soap again, although from the reviews I was interested in soap of the same brand only with magnolia and silk! He is so praised! Although this soap has a high rating, I didn’t like it at all, so I’ll think about buying it again. I don't recommend this!
