Ginkgo nuts, also known as Bai Guo, are the edible seeds found inside the fruit of the ginkgo biloba tree. These small, ivory-colored nuts have a slightly bitter, yet subtly sweet flavor with a starchy texture. Ginkgo nuts are often described as having a delicate, earthy taste. When cooked, they soften considerably, becoming somewhat chewy. They are prized in Asian cuisine for their unique flavor and texture. Often found in traditional dishes and herbal remedies, ginkgo nuts provide a distinctive culinary experience.

Ginkgo nuts are best stored in a cool, dry, and dark place to maintain their quality. In their shells, they can last for several months at room temperature. Once shelled, they should be refrigerated in an airtight container and used within a week to prevent spoilage. For longer storage, shelled ginkgo nuts can be frozen for up to six months. Blanching them briefly before freezing helps to preserve their flavor and texture.
