ginkgo
🗓 Season: October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Female trees only: fleshy, apricot-like fruit falls when ripe, emitting a very unpleasant rancid-butter smell. Wear gloves — the outer flesh causes dermatitis. The inner nut is edible; roast or boil after removing shells. Limit intake (toxins at high dose).
fleshy seed drops right onto sidewalk, bring a bag and gloves to collect so you can avoid stinky or itchy hands. the hard inner part of the seed can be shelled then boiled or fryed to put in congee.
