First, the planting time of pure wild ginseng with garden ginseng as wild ginseng is long, which can't meet the large-scale market demand at all. Nowadays, many people on the Internet use garden ginseng. This kind of ginseng is characterized by fast growth and many kinds of seeds. It only takes about a year or two to grow! Moreover, the ginseng planted is white and tender, and the weight is still very sufficient! It looks good on the outside, but in fact there is almost no ginsenoside content. Many businesses just use buyers to only pay attention to selling pictures and don't understand their intrinsic value, so that people who don't know the truth are fooled!
Second, ordinary ginseng is dyed with chemicals to act as aged wild ginseng.
Potassium permanganate and ginseng, two unrelated things, are closely linked. Black-hearted traders dye ginseng with potassium permanganate, which makes the color of ginseng look good and old, and makes buyers feel that it is very cheap to buy such old wild ginseng at a low price. As shown below, the two ginseng on the left are "disguised" with potassium permanganate solution, which looks very old-fashioned, and it seems that the two ginseng are older, but in fact the two ginseng are exactly the same age. Eating potassium permanganate is extremely harmful to human gastric mucosa, and long-term consumption will lead to poisoning! Eating such ginseng can not only not play a nourishing role, but even is a very dangerous thing! ?
Third, it is not uncommon for pictures to be seriously inconsistent with the real thing. The so-called wild ginseng in many business pictures is beautiful, but I don't know where it was stolen. In fact, my own low-priced ginseng can't shoot this effect at all! What's more, they are in the business of selling dog meat by hanging sheep's heads. The wild ginseng is mentioned in the picture, but it was covered with garden ginseng when it was delivered! It is the real regret that the buyer buys it back and sees the quality clearly.
