Introduction
Ginkgo seeds (white fruits) may be incompatible with honey, seafood, carp, green beans, alcohol, and other foods. Although these foods may interact with ginkgo seeds, it is not absolutely forbidden to consume them together. It is recommended to maintain a balanced and diverse diet in daily life, pay attention to individual physical reactions, and seek medical advice promptly if discomfort occurs after consuming certain combinations of foods.

      Ginkgo nuts are the seeds of the ginkgo tree and may be incompatible with honey, seafood, carp, mung beans, alcohol, and other substances. A detailed analysis is as follows:

      1. Honey

      Consuming ginkgo nuts with honey may affect digestion. Honey contains abundant fructose and glucose, while ginkgo nuts contain significant amounts of starch. Eating them together may interfere with the action of digestive enzymes, leading to indigestion.

      2. Seafood

      Consuming ginkgo nuts with seafood may trigger allergic reactions. Certain components in seafood may interact with substances in ginkgo nuts, increasing the risk of allergies, especially for individuals allergic to seafood or ginkgo nuts, who should avoid consuming them together.

      3. Carp

      Consuming ginkgo nuts with carp may cause physical discomfort. Carp is a cold-natured food, while ginkgo nuts are neutral in nature. The significant difference in their properties may lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea when consumed together.

      4. Mung Beans

      Consuming ginkgo nuts with mung beans may interfere with nutrient absorption. Some components in mung beans may bind with proteins in ginkgo nuts, reducing their nutritional value and potentially irritating the gastrointestinal tract, causing indigestion.

      5. Alcohol

      Certain components in ginkgo nuts may react with alcohol, affecting alcohol metabolism and excretion, thereby increasing the burden of alcohol on the body. Additionally, ginkgo nuts themselves contain high amounts of sugar and calories, which, when combined with alcohol, may further lead to excess energy intake and fat accumulation, which are detrimental to health.

      Although these foods may be incompatible with ginkgo nuts, it is not absolutely prohibited to consume them together. It is recommended in daily diets to appropriately combine various foods, maintain dietary diversity, and pay attention to individual physical responses. If discomfort occurs after consuming specific food combinations, timely medical consultation is advised.
