Ginkgo Nuts

详情

Ginkgo nuts are the product of the ginkgo tree: a highly adaptable, happily urban plant youve likely shuffled underneath wandering the streets of Brooklyn or Tokyo. Despite its gorgeous, golden fan-shaped leaves that tumble to the ground each fall, the ginkgo tree is deeply maligned by many for the stinky cheese odor of its fruit, which also can cause an allergic reaction for those sensitive to the chemicals in its skin. (If you ever pick your own, be sure to wear gloves!) Since mining for ginkgo nuts requires digging into the potentially rash-inducing pulp, this is probably why you havent seen any wannabe culinary entrepreneurs hocking them at Smorgasbord in Brooklyn—yet.
