Ginkgo edible:

Ginkgo nuts are good for health and longevity. They were listed as royal tribute in the Song Dynasty. Japanese people have the habit of eating ginkgo nuts every day. Westerners must have ginkgo nuts for Christmas. In terms of eating methods, ginkgo nuts can be fried, roasted, boiled, served as side dishes, pastries, candied fruits, canned foods, beverages and alcoholic beverages.

However, improper dosage and method of eating ginkgo can cause poisoning. (Mainly refers to the situation of excessive consumption) In order to prevent ginkgo poisoning, cooked food and small consumption are the fundamental methods. For raw food (shelled and core removed), adults should limit their intake to 5-7 grains, and children should limit their intake to 2-5 grains each time according to their age and weight, and they can take it again after 4 hours. For raw food, the shell and red soft membrane must be removed, and the core (germ) must be removed. For cooked food, 20-30 grains each time are appropriate. If the shell, red soft membrane and germ are removed and cooked, even if the dosage is larger, poisoning will not occur.

Sweet almonds are a healthy food. Eating them in moderation can not only effectively control the cholesterol content in the human body, but also significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and a variety of chronic diseases. Vegetarians eating sweet almonds can promptly replenish protein, trace elements and vitamins, such as iron, zinc and vitamin E. The fat contained in sweet almonds is necessary for healthy people, and it is a highly unsaturated fat that is good for the heart.
