Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
There are several ways to peel ginkgo seeds that have just been plucked from the tree, but here are three ways to do so:
Method 1: Immersion method.
Soak the ginkgo seeds in water for about 10 minutes.
Use a knife or scissors to make a slight cut on the ginkgo and gently squeeze it with your hand, and the peel will crack.
Remove the peel and pulp from the water and gently peel the peel.
Method 2: Hammer Hammer Stroke.
Prepare a hard hammer, such as a hammer, etc.
Find a weaker spot on the ginkgo seeds, either at one end or on the side of the ginkgo seeds.
Gently tap this weak spot with a hammer with even force, not too big and not too small.
After beating for a while, cracks appear in the ginkgo peel.
At this time, you can wear latex gloves and break the ginkgo peel along the crack.
Method 3: Microwave heating method.
Place the ginkgo seeds in a microwave container and add a small amount of water.
Place the container in the microwave and heat on high for about 1 minute.
Take out the container, make a slight cut on the ginkgo with a knife or scissors, and gently squeeze it with your hand, and the peel will crack.
Remove the peel and pulp from the water and gently peel the peel.
Regardless of the method used, it is important to be safe during the peeling process to avoid injury caused by using too much force or using too sharp tools. At the same time, for unpeeled ginkgo seeds, they can be stored in a cool and ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and humid environments.
