Background

Genuine Korean Ginseng is scarce because of the time-consuming and expensive method of cultivation required for production. After harvesting the Ginseng, the land used for cultivation should be left to rejuvenate for 10 years. As Korean Ginseng should be harvested after 7 years growth, it takes 17 years to get produce one batch of Korean Ginseng from one plot of land. Due to lack of farmland and manpower, fewer people are involved in Ginseng cultivation in Korea these days. It is believed that he older the Ginseng root, the stronger the texture, the better the quality, and the more effective its properties. Korean Ginseng is sweet and slightly bitter in taste.

The best Korean Ginseng is considered to be from Jiang Yuan Dao in Korea. Care has to be taken when purchasing Korean Ginseng as imitations have been found in the modern market. Some Ginseng's that claim to be Korean are in fact Japanese Hongshen - a different root. While Hongshen resembles Korean Ginseng in some respects, their properties are different, and the efficacy of Hongshen marginal when compared to the genuine product.
