Question

Tannins:

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tannins are compounds found in some plants that can bind to proteins and reduce their digestibility. This is why many herbivorous animals, including primates, avoid consuming high-tannin foods. However, some animals like chimpanzees may still consume tannins for their physical properties, such as their astringency or ability to form stable complexes with other compounds. Tannins do not disrupt metabolism.
