    Ginkgo nut

    Recipe




    The nut-like gametophytes inside the seeds are esteemed in and outside of Asia, and are a traditional Chinese food (e.g. congee, often served at weddings), and are believed to have health benefits; some also consider them to have aphrodisiac qualities.

    Japanese cooks add Ginkgo seeds to dishes such as chawammushi, and cooked seeds are often eaten along with other dishes.

    The seeds are available canned, sold as "White Nuts", and can be found in many Asian food stores in the West. Usually only a few are added for a portion enough for ten people.
