In many Italian cities, including Turin, there are ginkgo biloba trees, but few know that in Asia the seeds of this tree is much used in cooking.
The tree is beautiful, it leaves a very smooth shell that turn yellow in autumn. The seed, however, is covered with a pulp ... it stinks of shit. Really.
Try to pass the autumn in an avenue of ginkgo, for example, former zoo di Torino. Asphyxiant.
Yet, especially in Chinese cooking, the seed is an ingredient very delicious. In Japanese cuisine is used for example in chawanmushi .
The taste is very delicate, one could say that he does not know anything ... but has a very unique texture.
