About Nuts, ginkgo nuts, raw
These small, ivory-colored seeds come from the ginkgo tree, one of the oldest living tree species in the world. Known for their mildly sweet, slightly bitter flavor and soft, chewy texture when cooked, they have been a staple in East Asian cuisine for centuries. While they are low in protein and fat compared to many other nuts, they are a source of carbohydrates and contain small amounts of essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. However, they are also relatively high in calories and contain a compound called ginkgotoxin, which can be harmful in large amounts—especially if eaten raw in excess—so moderation is important.
In the kitchen, they are most often found in Asian soups, stir-fries, and rice dishes, where their unique flavor and texture add depth. They are also used in desserts and traditional holiday dishes in some cultures. Before eating, they are typically shelled and cooked, as cooking helps neutralize the potentially harmful compounds and improves digestibility. For those interested in trying them, it's best to purchase them from reputable sources and avoid consuming them in large quantities, especially if you're new to eating them.
