  Gingko trees with golden leaves form amazing scenes in many places of Suzhou in autumn, and gingko nut is one of the locals’ favorite food ingredients in this season.

  Gingko nuts can be put into an envelope and heated in a microwave oven until they burst, like popcorns, or be stir-fried with other ingredients such as peeled prawns.

  The nuts have a unique flavor, and are soft and some bitter. Remember, do not eat too many at one go in order to avoid side effects.
