Although rare, persimmon fruit can trigger an allergic reaction in some people. If you experience any adverse food allergy symptoms like itching, swelling or hives, you should discontinue use immediately and talk to your doctor.
If you suffer from constipation, it’s best to stick to non-astringent persimmon varieties. Astringent persimmons are higher in tannins, which can slow down the digestive tract and worsen constipation. Although non-astringent persimmons are naturally lower in tannins, you should monitor your tolerance and discontinue consumption if your constipation gets worse.
Additionally, some of the compounds found in persimmons may lower blood pressure. You should check with your doctor if you’re already taking medications to reduce your blood pressure as it may cause an interaction. *
