Persimmons Danger

Persimmons season is here.



It is important to wait until persimmons are fully ripe before eating them, because unripe persimmons can cause gastric bezoars.

More than 85% phytobezoars are caused by ingestion of unripened persimmons.

To ripen them put them in a plastic bag with a banana to hasten the ripening.
