Food Connect, Inc. - Fresh Gingko Nuts

The fruit of the gingko tree, when peeled and roasted or blanched, has a sweet flavor with a subtle bitter note. Fresh gingko nuts, difficult to find, have a chestnut-like texture treasured by Asians for countless years. They add a mellow undertone and texture to soups, stuffing, and meat and vegetable dishes.

Here's what you get:

1 lb of fresh gingko nuts

Shell Game

We know what you’re thinking: Gingko nuts smell foul. And it’s true. If you’ve ever walked past a female tree in fruit, well… let’s just say it’s not pretty. But once the nuts outer fibrous layer is removed (as Food Connect does for you) and the nut extracted from the shell, you have a sweet, complexly flavored ingredient. Chef Anita Lo, of New York’s Anissa, adds them to a rice-based stuffing for quail. They add a lovely texture to a Japanese salad of spinach, corn, peas, mushrooms, and shrimp. Or just pop them in your mouth as you would edamame.
