I've roasted and eaten them and they've tasted fairly good. They have a taste and texture that is meat-like - sideways, sort of. The seeds can be medicinal though not as medicinal as the leaves. The seeds can be toxic (gingkolic acids) so no more than 5 or 6 seeds per day is recommended. The trick is to get the flesh off the outside of the seeds without hurting yourself. Anyone found a good technique?

The person in this Craig's List ad says their family uses gingko seeds for soup. Does anyone know whether this would be for medicinal purposes or would it actually taste good?
