Ginseng is essentially a kind of grass, not very tasty, the general flavor is a little bitter. But like most Chinese herbs, how to eat ginseng is a very delicate matter.

Let's start with the simplest way to eat ginseng, which is to eat it directly. The ginseng will be bought to wash clean, directly bite and chew to eat. This way of eating is not very common, but it is actually the most effective way of eating, because there is no processing program, so you do not have to consider the loss of nutrients in the herb.

Take it in soups and stews. This is the most classical, and has been popular to this day, way of eating. Most root herbs can be taken in this way. This way of eating goryeo ginseng is also very simple, just mix it with water, put it into a bowl, cover the bowl, and then put it into a pot to simmer for a few hours, drink the soup, and you can simmer it a few more times. Of course, you can also cut the ginseng into slices first, in order to better boil out its "medicinal properties".

Ginseng can be used in wine or tea. This way of eating has been popular for hundreds of years, and ginseng is considered to be the best choice for making wine with herbs since ancient times. Since the ginseng is put into the wine jar, it is best to let it soak for a while, so that the ginseng wine made has more ginseng flavor. Using ginseng as tea is to cut the ginseng into thin slices, and then use boiling water to brew it.

Taken with other ingredients. This method of consumption is also very popular in folklore. The main thing is to stew ginseng with chicken, fish and other food. This way of taking ginseng can not only effectively get the nutrition of ginseng, but also reduce its bitter flavor.

Eating ginseng should adhere to the principle of "long and slow". Although ginseng is a great remedy, but if you only ate ginseng once or twice in your life, it is the same as not eating, there is no effect. Ginseng should be eaten frequently so that it can bring nourishment to the body for a long time. Ginseng should not be eaten too much, otherwise it will harm the body; in addition, healthy children or strong people are not recommended to take ginseng.
