Bai Guo (Ginkgo biloba Seed) — Dried Food Herb, 500g, Natural Sun-Dried

Bai Guo (Ginkgo biloba) is the dried seed of the ancient ginkgo tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bái Guǒ (白果) and honored as a stabilizing, astringent food herb. For centuries, Bai Guo has been prized as a lung-astringing and dampness-drying ingredient, traditionally used to support respiratory comfort and urinary balance. Its nature is sweet, bitter, and slightly astringent with a neutral-to-warm tendency, making it a gentle yet focused herb for anchoring the Lung and Kidney channels.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sun-dried to preserve its pale ivory-to-cream color, smooth hard shell, and faintly nutty aroma. When cooked, the inner kernel softens to a tender, slightly chewy texture with a mild, subtly sweet and faintly bitter taste, blending well into soups and congee without overpowering other ingredients.

As a tea, it is brewed alone or blended with other food herbs for a light, mildly nutty infusion.
