                                Ginkgo trees are an ancient species, a "living fossil" that has existed for over 200 million years. Their nuts, known as ginnan in Japan, are a unique and prized culinary ingredient in many Asian cultures, yet many Westerners are unsure how to handle them. The key is proper preparation and moderation to enjoy their distinct, velvety texture and flavor.
