Japanese Persimmon Nutrition Facts by Edible Weight

Fruit size words can be useful, but they are not always the clearest way to compare nutrition. Persimmons vary in size, and a weighed edible portion makes the reference more specific. This card focuses on raw Japanese persimmon and a simple gram amount. It offers a practical measuring tip without suggesting that the fruit has a special weight-loss effect or belongs in every person's plan. A 100-gram portion of raw Japanese persimmon provides 70 calories, 18.6 grams of total carbohydrate, and 3.6 grams of fiber in the USDA reference. The figures describe the edible fruit alone. Fiber is included within total carbohydrate, so the two gram amounts should not be added together. The example is a comparison portion, not a statement that one whole fruit always weighs that amount. The source is USDA FoodData Central food 169941, “Persimmons, japanese, raw.” Its per-100-gram record supplies the 70 calories, 18.6 grams of carbohydrate, and 3.6 grams of dietary fiber shown on the card. No household conversion is needed because the example uses the source's reference weight directly. Source: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/169941/nutrients Weigh the edible portion after removing the stem and any parts you do not eat. Place an empty plate on a scale, reset it, and add the fruit slices. Cutting the fruit into more pieces changes the presentation but not the total edible amount. If your portion differs from 100 grams, scale the reference values to that amount instead of assuming a whole-fruit count gives the same result. For a snack or a dish, record additional ingredients separately. A sweetened topping, yogurt, nuts, or a baked preparation is not part of this plain raw-fruit entry. When persimmon is used in a shared recipe, calculate the complete ingredient list and divide the finished recipe according to its servings. The fruit's values alone cannot describe a dessert or breakfast bowl containing several foods. Match the fruit type and preparation when choosing a record. Dried persimmon, preserves, and other prepared products need their own reference or label. Other persimmon entries may also describe a different food. Checking the full description before copying the numbers is a useful habit, especially when a tracking list offers several similar names with different preparation details. Save this card as a reminder to use edible weight when a guessed fruit size is unclear. It is an information tool, not a requirement for perfect measurement or a promise about weight change. The related wellness supplement is a separate catalog item. It is not a persimmon ingredient and is not presented as the source of the fruit's fiber, carbohydrate, or calories. #WeightLossTips #Persimmon #NutritionFacts #FoodPortions #HealthyEating
