No, not true at all.  I eat a lot of persimmons every season.  I do not peel the fruits nor I have seen these being peeled by anyone even in Japan.

Subject: [NAFEX] questions about persimmons

Somehow remember being told that eating a lot of unpeeled persimmons can cause a condition where the skins can collect in the bowel. Is this true? and what is this condition called?

Also has anyone even made tea out of the leaves?  If so when is the best time to use them?
