Some like the leaves; I prefer the nuts

I eat, then shoot the leaves. This kid goes nuts...

 

 

 

You smell ginkgo nuts before you ever see them, lying where they drop, stinking of decay below the bright yellow foliage.

 

It's another of those Buddhist parables... Inside that squidgy rotting flesh lurks a yellow-green jewel. Ginnan (ginkgo nuts) are one of the profound tastes of autumn.
