Key Nutritional Highlights

1. Rich in Antioxidants
   Persimmons contain vitamin C, beta-carotene, and polyphenols like catechins and gallic acid all of which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.

2. Good Source of Fiber

   High in vitamin A and lutein, persimmons help maintain good vision and protect against age-related eye issues.

4. Heart Health
   Antioxidants and fiber contribute to lower cholesterol and improved blood pressure regulation.

Types of Persimmons

1. Fuyu (non-astringent): Sweet even when firm, eaten like an apple.

2. Hachiya (astringent): Must be fully ripe and soft before eating; otherwise, it tastes bitter due to tannins.

Things to Note

• High sugar content: Moderation is key, especially for diabetics.

• Unripe astringent persimmons contain tannins that can cause digestive discomfort.

• Rarely, excessive intake (especially of unripe ones) can lead to bezoar formation (intestinal blockage).
