Shelling Ginkgo Nuts

Have you seen ginkgo nuts before? There it is. I suddenly caught sight of a round prism shaped nut. That is very unusual for me.

  Firstly, shell the hard shell of the ginkgo nuts. Then peel off their brown coloured thin skin.

  Cut the shelled ginkgo into half. Do you see the embryo like structure there? That is the core, it is bitter in taste and quite toxic, that is why we need to remove it.

You can use a toothpick or a knife to remove the core.
