FoodMate Score of the food
This is a score for the food on its own, by its composition per 100 g, using the same formula the app applies to a meal. On a plate with other foods the result will differ: buckwheat with vegetables scores higher than buckwheat alone.

How many calories are in one persimmon
Persimmon has 67 kcal per 100 g: about 15 g of carbs, 3.6 g of fiber and next to no fat or protein. A medium fruit weighs 180-220 g, and after removing the stem and seeds about 180 g of flesh remains, which is 121 kcal. A small persimmon gives about 80 kcal, a large one 168. That is more than an apple, but also more filling.
Sharon fruit and astringent persimmon
Sharon fruit and regular persimmon have the same calories. The difference is taste: astringent varieties are high in tannins and are best eaten very soft or after freezing. Sharon fruit can be eaten firm. Freezing does not change the calories but removes the astringency.
Dried persimmon
Dried persimmon is about 274 kcal per 100 g: the water is gone and the sugar stays. A 30 g piece is 82 kcal, almost half a fresh persimmon, but much easier to eat. Like other dried fruit, it is handy in small amounts with tea instead of candy.
Persimmon for weight loss
One 121 kcal persimmon is a good sweet snack: lots of fiber, manganese and some vitamin A. But it is noticeably higher than a tangerine or an apple, so two or three persimmons a day already add up to 250-360 kcal. Because of the tannins, unripe astringent persimmon is best not eaten in large amounts on an empty stomach, especially with stomach problems.
How to count your serving
Weigh the persimmon without the stem and multiply by 0.67, or log a medium one as 121 kcal. If the persimmon is in a dessert or salad, take a photo in MyFoodMate AI and the app counts everything together.
