Persimmon is 0g of sugar, wrapped in 14.5g of fiber per 100g. That's what makes it not soda.

The fiber slows absorption; the sugar is not "free sugar" the way added sugar is. Whole fruit and juice are different foods nutritionally, even at the same sugar number.

The chef's caveat

Ripeness matters

A greener persimmon has more starch and less sugar; a spotty one is the reverse. Total calories barely move, but if you are tracking blood sugar or fiber-vs-sugar ratio, ripeness is a real variable — not a rounding error.

Common questions

The stuff people actually ask.

How many calories in fruit without refuse of persimmon?
About 93 calories, with roughly 0.5g of protein. fruit without refuse weighs about 34g. Use the slider above for any other portion.
Does a ripe persimmon have more calories?
Barely. As fruit ripens, starch converts to sugar — same calories, different molecule. What changes: sweeter taste, faster blood-sugar rise, softer texture. Total calories move maybe 3–5%.
Is persimmon actually healthy, or is that marketing?
By the numbers on this page: fiber, vitamin C, potassium; sugar comes with its brake pedal (fiber).
