Can persimmons and beer be eaten together?

Autumn is the harvest season. Many fruits and grains ripen in autumn. Persimmon is one of them. The same goes for wheat. Wheat can be used to make beer. Many people like to have a drink or two while eating. However, it is said that the alcohol in beer can react with persimmons to produce a very hard mixture, which can easily cause indigestion and even form stomach stones. Is this true? Can persimmons and beer be eaten together?

1. Persimmon tastes sweet and astringent, and is cold in nature. The vitamins and sugars it contains are one to two times higher than those of ordinary fruits. It can nourish the lungs and protect the stomach, clear away dryness and heat. Regular consumption can replenish the body, relieve cough, promote bowel movements, and eliminate heat. Eating persimmons on an empty stomach can easily cause gastric persimmon stone disease, so it is best to eat them after a meal and try to eat less persimmon peel.

2. Persimmons are nutritious, delicious, but should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Because persimmon fruits contain tannins, the content is less than 1% when ripe, and can reach 25% when unripe. At the same time, persimmon also contains gum and pectin. When eating a large amount of persimmons on an empty stomach, especially unripe or unpeeled persimmons, the tannins, pectin, etc. contained in them can react with gastric acid to form water-insoluble clots that are deposited in the stomach and form lumps through the mechanical action of the stomach, which are so-called persimmon gastric stones.

1. In addition, you should not eat persimmons after drinking alcohol. It is said that you should not eat persimmons before, during or just after drinking alcohol to avoid poisoning or physical discomfort.

2. It is best not to drink alcohol after eating persimmons, whether it is white wine or beer. It is best to wait until the persimmons are emptied from the stomach and enter the small intestine before drinking alcohol to avoid the formation of stones in the stomach.
