Persimmon cakes are traditional foods made from fresh persimmons through dehydration and sugarization processes. They retain some of the nutritional components of persimmons and develop certain unique health benefits during processing. Below are the main benefits of persimmon cakes:
1. Antioxidant: Persimmon cakes contain abundant antioxidant substances, such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds. These components help eliminate free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and benefit cardiovascular health.
2. Gut health: They contain a certain amount of dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal motility, improve digestion, and prevent constipation.
3. Vitamin supplementation: Although some vitamins may be lost during processing, persimmon cakes still contain vitamins A and C, which have positive effects on eye health and the immune system.
Persimmon cakes contain a considerable amount of tannic acid. Consuming them on an empty stomach or together with high-protein foods may lead to the formation of gastric stones. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
