    Ripe persimmon skin contains a lot of tannic acid, so it will feel astringent when eaten. Under the action of stomach acid, tannic acid will chemically interact with the protein in the food to form a precipitate, which is persimmon stone. This substance can easily cause upper abdominal discomfort, fullness, and loss of appetite. Therefore, do not eat unpeeled persimmons or fasting.
