What Makes About White Ginkgo Nuts Important?

Ginkgo biloba seeds come from one of the oldest tree species alive. Unlike the leaf, the nut has a distinct texture and flavour, popular in traditional Asian dishes and herbal practices. These nuts are naturally rich in starch, protein, and various phytonutrients, and have been valued in wellbeing traditions for centuries.

Traditional Culinary Uses

White ginkgo nuts are a classic addition to soups, congee, and stir-fries, imparting a mild, nutty flavour and a tender, chestnut-like texture. They can also be roasted as a snack or ground into powder for beverages and baking. Important: raw ginkgo nuts contain compounds that may be toxic in large quantities, so they must always be cooked before eating to neutralise any potential risk.
