Nuts

Split Kernel

Split ginkgo kernels are cooked ginkgo nuts broken or halved for even heating in simmered dishes and egg custards. Splitting is a cooks move after shelling, not a snack-pack style like split almonds. A good split piece is soft, evenly cooked, and free of hard centres. A bad piece is undercooked, discoloured, or from old canned stock with off aromas. Add late to soups so they do not disintegrate. Still observe modest portion sizes.
