Ginkgo itself contains trace amounts of hydrogen cyanide, and excessive consumption may lead to poisoning,表现为nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to consume ginkgo in moderation and ensure it is thoroughly cooked.
Ginkgo should not be consumed with carrots, as certain components in carrots may destroy the nutritional value of ginkgo. Ginkgo also should not be consumed with foods such as fish and pork, as these foods may interact adversely with some components in ginkgo, affecting health. Additionally, ginkgo should not be eaten with fruits such as pomegranates, grapes, and persimmons, as certain components in these fruits may conflict with ginkgo, affecting nutrient absorption or causing other adverse effects.
For specific populations, such as pregnant women, children, the elderly, and individuals with other medical conditions, extra caution should be exercised when consuming ginkgo, and it is best to do so under the guidance of a physician.
