White fruit taste sweet, nutritious, can be used as a valuable medicinal diet, can also be made into a lot of valuable cakes and a variety of canned or other processed foods. The book has been recorded: poetry gift ginkgo, bamboo and white fruit porridge, white fruit stewed chicken, white fruit chicken, white fruit steamed duck, coreless sugar white fruit, white fruit brown, honey white fruit, white fruit kernel steamed cake, white fruit assorted round cake, white fruit mooncake, white fruit West Valley rice, white fruit Lahai congee, white fruit porridge, white fruit cheese, canned white fruit, white fruit wine, and so on. No book, the market has seen the ginkgo juice, ginkgo porridge, ginkgo crystals and so on. Taixing City, Jiangsu Province alone, "Yangzhou Santai Natural Food and Beverage Co., Ltd." a, has produced two categories of 14 varieties of products. In addition, the folk still have white fruit and lotus seed soup, eggs, white fruit tofu, white fruit soup and other white fruit food, are unique flavor of delicious dishes and medicinal cuisine.

Consolidation of the above, ginkgo can be divided into the following categories of edible methods:

First, as a mixture of dishes.

White fruits used as a mixing material, first remove the bony mesocarp. The mesocarp can be removed mechanically by crushing it with pressure in the direction of the ventral suture line. The stripped seed kernel is covered with a light brown membranous inner seed coat. It can be easily torn off by soaking it in boiling water for 3-5 minutes.

With the seed coat removed, the white fruit kernel can be used as a mixing ingredient for roasted chicken, stewed duck, or roasted meat, stewed hoof, and so on. This time into the meat of the white fruit, eating a particularly mellow flavor, can be timely to eliminate the common sense of greasiness when eating meat, so that people's appetite, play a role in regulating the appetite.

In the dishes used as a mixture, the white fruit should be a little late into the good. This is because the starch of the white fruit is easy to paste. In order to try to maintain the flavor of the white fruit, it is best to put in the chicken, duck, hooves basically cooked after the white fruit kernel. A little stewing, in time to serve. This and into the dishes, not only sticky and tasty, but also no poisoning concerns, very popular.

Secondly, as an important ingredient in pastries.

White kernels used as a pastry mix, can increase the glutinous nature of the pastry and flavor, but also increase the food value of the pastry, so that the consumption of pastries has also become a disease prevention and treatment of aids.

Used as pastry white nuts, can be the whole kernel, can also be broken kernel. The kernels can be incorporated into the outer layer of skin, or mixed into the inner layer of pastry filling, and some will be embellished on the surface of the pastry.

Because the main component of white nuts is starch, with very little fat, and a small amount of bacterial growth inhibiting substances in the seed kernel, white nuts are used in pastries and are not easily spoiled. Regardless of what kind of baking technology, will not produce new harmful ingredients, will only increase the color, aroma and taste of the pastry, improve the grade of the pastry, and people look at the food, eat without getting tired of it.

Third, as an important snack or disaster prevention food.

Guangdong Province, the streets, has long been the habit of buying fruit soup, fragrant and delicious fruit soup, not only hunger, but also able to cure, so, has been prevalent. The streets of Suzhou can often be heard on the "incense fried hot fruits," the sound of shouting. Children in the production area often barbecue white fruit in the charcoal fire as a homemade snack. The children wait for the fruit to burst, and then slightly roasted, so that the seed kernel in the emergence of cauliflower-like protrusions. At this time, chewing while hot, the flavor is particularly glutinous. As for the mountain people will be boiled white fruit dipped in water, treated as a staple food, it has become an important food for the famine. It is said that difficult times, Guangxi Lingchuan village, is relying on 2.5 kilograms of white fruit porridge, cured the villagers of edema.

Now, some people will remove the seed embryo of white fruit, crushed, rinse water, and then add sugar to drink directly or drink with milk. It is said that this way of eating, as long as you insist on taking 3-7 grains per day, has an extremely obvious nourishing and nourishing effect. Due to the fine texture of the starch of the white fruit, after brewing water, it is very easy to form a paste. This way of eating is also feasible.

White fruit raw food, also has a different flavor. The advantage of raw food is: all the ingredients within the seed kernel are undamaged, especially the high content of effective medicinal ingredients, can effectively prevent and cure diseases.

No matter which method of consumption, should pay attention to control the dosage, especially raw white fruit, must be careful and cautious. This is because white fruit is slightly toxic.

To prevent the consumption of white fruit poisoning, must pay attention to the following points:

First, do not eat "floating head white fruit". The so-called "floating head white fruit", is the seed kernel stunted ginkgo seeds. The endosperm of these seeds is less nutritious and may contain harmful ingredients. Eat "floating head white fruit" poisoning, by no means alarmist. 1949 lunar calendar June 30, Jiangsu Wu County Dongting Dongshan was hit by a 12-stage typhoon. White fruit drop a lot of fruit. After the disaster, the farmers had come to a large number of white fruit production to pick up just fall white fruit. Because the white fruit has not matured, retrieve basically floating head fruit. Consumption of the year, the village has had dozens of poisoning accidents.

Secondly, the green part of the seed embryo must be removed. It is generally believed that the green seed embryo contains certain toxic substances. But the specific composition is unknown. Some believe that the seed embryo itself is an effective source of medicine. Therefore, someone has already developed a ginkgo drink using the seed embryo as a raw material.

Thirdly, the number of raw untreated white fruits consumed at one time should generally not exceed 10 and definitely not more than 30. There has long been a saying among the masses that white fruits can be intoxicating, that is to say, if you eat more white fruits, you will feel dizzy, just like taking sleeping pills. And the actual mechanism, because some effective medicinal ingredients within the white fruit has the function of making blood vessels dilated, just like eating more sleeping pills will make people sleep forever. At present, some people also think that eating more white fruit poisoning is because the white fruit seeds contain a substance called 41-methylhydropyridonic acid, its toxic reaction is to cause paroxysmal spasm and nerve paralysis.

When there is white fruit poisoning, mainly take vomiting therapy, the use of emetic, as soon as possible to remove the food has been down. Folk have been used to take water and feces and other examples of vomiting and rescue success. But generally have to use a more scientific method of vomiting. Eating white fruit poisoning symptoms, to spasm mainly. Treatment can be in the vomiting at the same time, the use of protection of the nervous system normal activity and sedation therapy-based rescue program.

To the month should be reported to the three cases of children eating 20 pieces of raw white fruits, a 4-year-old child cooked 40 pieces of white fruits and poisoning first aid success. All of them showed mental dullness, depression or agitation within 2-10 hours after eating. 3 of them vomited with a small amount of white fruit residue in the stomach content. Subsequently, all of them suffered from twitching of limbs or face, upturning of eyes, foaming at the mouth, and even cyanosis of the whole body, pallor, blurred consciousness, and coma, and some of them had low fever, and one of them suffered from diarrhea at a later stage. After diarrhea, intestinal lavage, infusion, sedation, anticonvulsant, excited breathing, strong heart and other therapies, are cured.

There are also cases that use the therapy of sheep's blood in divided doses, which is very effective. Xu Juyuan reported on two cases of young children eating raw white fruit 80 more than 80 cases of poisoning, the use of sub-infusion of sheep blood 150-300 ml of treatment, so that there have been convulsions, coma and other symptoms of intoxication, only 2 years old and 5 years old, two patients, convulsions immediately reduce the mental immediately clear, the third day of healing and discharge, half a month follow-up, everything is normal.
