Detoxification of Ginkgo

Ginkgo nuts taste really good when cooked, but there is a detoxification process before cooking. Otherwise, you can't eat too much. First, after you get home from the market, use a small hammer to knock open the ginkgo nuts and remove the hard shell. Remember not to use too much force to break the meat inside. After shelling, there is still a layer of skin on the outside of the ginkgo nuts, which cannot be eaten. After removing the skin, you can find the white and tender kernel inside. Here is a good way to peel the skin. Put all the ginkgo nuts in a pot and heat them. After the water boils, stir them constantly with chopsticks. In this way, the outer skin will fall off automatically, and the ginkgo nuts at this time are crystal clear and very pleasing to the eye.

Removing the bitterness of ginkgo

Find a larger plastic jar, put all the peeled ginkgo nuts in it, add tap water, and place it in a cool and ventilated place (last year I placed it in the living room, and several friends asked me what such a beautiful thing was, because it looked bright yellow, and such a big jar was really beautiful). Change the water every one or two days. After a week, the preparation process of ginkgo nuts is over, and how to cook it next depends on your cooking skills.
