Can rapeseed and persimmon be eaten together?

Generally speaking, mature persimmons can be consumed together with rape (Chinese cabbage). However, it is important not to consume excessive amounts, and unripe persimmons should not be eaten.

When persimmons are fully ripe and have lower tannin content, it is generally safe to eat them together with rape. Ripe persimmons are sweet and delicious, while rape is rich in vitamins and minerals. Combining these two foods can provide complementary nutrition, which is beneficial to health. Additionally, for individuals who are not allergic to these foods and do not have sensitive digestive systems, consuming them together is generally not a problem.

Both rape and persimmons are considered cold-natured foods in traditional Chinese medicine, and consuming them together may impair the function of the spleen and stomach. Once the spleen and stomach functions are compromised, discomfort such as abdominal pain may occur. Eating excessive amounts or consuming these foods together by individuals with weak digestive systems could increase the gastrointestinal burden and lead to indigestion. Both rape and persimmons should be consumed in moderation to avoid physical discomfort caused by excessive intake. People with weak spleen and stomach function or those with cold body constitutions should be particularly cautious about consuming cold-natured foods.

In daily diets, maintaining food diversity and balanced intake, while avoiding excessive consumption of any single food, helps maintain good health.
