Trying Ginkgo Fruit

Out wild foraging we came across a Ginkgo tree. I had to try the fruit.

Loved watching that it was so fun , and the reason that I searched for a video as urs because of studying it as a plant science student in college,thanks for telling us and describe it ❤

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

Thanks for watching! I have heard the dried leaves make a pleasant tea. I'll pass on the fruit! ;)

[@KerryWanamaker]

This is hilarious ! Thanks for the laugh. You are brave.

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

That was a WILD fruit. Definitely unforgettable. Lolol

[@jamesalanstephensmith7930]

Astringent the nuts are edible, I believe. Doublecheck

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

You're correct! I tried roasting them last year. Not too bad!

[@milagrosgranados1316]

Omg you're brave. I hate the way those smell imagine me trying to eat one. I did not know you could eat the orange flesh part .

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

I enjoy an adventure but will not be eating the fleshy part again anytime soon. 🤣🤣🤣

[@dewellspringer7950]

Guys, Northeast Asians don't eat the fruit. You eat the seed ie. the nut. Eating the fruit is like eating pecan husk! They are a bit expensive Japan, but are delicious and used in stuffings with rice.

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

The pecan husk is a great analogy! I will be sure to try the nuts this next growing season.

Not every fruit is edible.

I love Ginko leaves, never actually had the fruit!!

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

Me neither. It was a fun experience

What is Ginkgo like? Like a Durian wrapped around a Pistachio.

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

I haven't tried the seeds yet. Next on my list :)

[@elgranjuanito817]

Oh my god! That is a brilliant comparison!👍

[@safepancake7551]

fun fact they arent even fruits, since they are gymnosperms, the fruit is a fleshy englarged outer seedcoats, ginkgos are also the only species in its entire order

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

That is a fun fact! I had to look up gymnosperms which was a fun read. :)

[@Doom2pro]

They are pines that evolved leaves instead of needles.

[@safepancake7551]

@@Doom2pro ginkgos aren’t exactly pines because they aren’t in the connifer order while ginkgos are in the ginkgo order

You are incredibly brave, or have no sense of smell.

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

Lol! I will try most things within reason once. I am all good on Gingko fruits. 😆 🤣

[@martinc9215]

I have only smelled them, so I can’t imagine eating them.

[@dr.valorieprahl1358]

I am not that brave!

The chemical in the fruit is a good way to end up in the hospital for eating poop fruit

[@Fluffy-Tail-0000]

...poo & vomit...

[@Rootedskyhomestead]

😅😅😅 with a hint of sweetness. Lolol
