What is this food?
AI-assisted
Persimmon (kaki) is a sweet, orange fruit. For every 100g, it has about 86 kcal and is naturally rich in carbohydrates and fiber.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Kaki can be a good snack option because it provides dietary fiber (about 3.9g per 100g), which helps keep you full and supports healthy digestion. It also has natural sugars (about 13.4g per 100g), so it’s best to enjoy it as part of your daily food balance. It has very low fat (about 0.6g) and minimal sodium (about 1mg), making it generally heart-friendly for most people. Since it’s sweet, pairing it with a meal or choosing a smaller portion can help keep your overall sugar intake comfortable for the day.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Use it as a snack between meals (1–2 snacks/day). A good portion is about 1 small piece or roughly 100g.
  • If you’re watching blood sugar, pair kaki with protein or healthy fat (e.g., a small serving of yogurt, nuts, or milk) to slow down how fast sugar rises.
  • Don’t skip fiber—keep the fruit whole (not juice) so you get the fiber benefit.
  • Balance your day: if you have kaki, choose less sweet desserts later and focus on water and regular meals.
