Persimmon is an orange or brown fruit. This fruit has a shape like a tomato with a sweet taste and texture.
Persimmon has a positive effect as an antioxidant and anti-cancer agent, which can increase the body’s ability to fight free radicals, as well as provide overall health benefits and protect the body from various diseases. Apart from the fruit, a study showed that persimmon leaf extract has an anti-cancer effect on human gastric cancer cells. This effect is due to the high content of vitamins D and A, beta-carotene and flavonoids in persimmon.
Persimmons have the highest levels of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) of any fruit, accounting for about 80 percent of the daily requirement for this nutrient. Vitamin C has the ability to stimulate the immune system and increase the production of white blood cells.
The fiber content in persimmon has the benefit of slowing down the absorption of glucose and carbohydrates by the intestines. This helps prevent spikes in blood glucose levels, making persimmon a healthy snack for diabetics. In addition, the presence of beta-carotene in persimmon can also reduce a person’s risk of developing diabetes.
Persimmon also contains a large number of antioxidants, including anthocyanins, beta-carotene, flavonoids, tannic acid, and vitamin C. The presence of these antioxidants is beneficial for maintaining heart health and improving blood circulation. They also play a role in preventing oxidative damage and reducing the risk of chronic heart disease.
