Royal Seafood USA Authentic Korean 6-Year-Old Ginseng | Korean Red Ginseng Sliced / Whole – Nourishing Herbal Ingredient
Royal Seafood USA's authentic Korean 6-year-old ginseng, also known as Korean red ginseng, is made from carefully selected premium ginseng roots that have grown for approximately 6 years, processed through traditional steaming and drying methods. Korean ginseng has a rich ginseng flavor, mellow aroma, and a bittersweet taste followed by a sweet aftertaste. It is a classic Korean nourishing ingredient, suitable for brewing in water, making chicken soup, stewing in a double boiler, soaking in honey, personal nourishment, and as a holiday gift.
After steaming, Korean ginseng turns a natural reddish-brown color, with a firm texture, more concentrated ginseng aroma, and more stable preservation. This product offers two options: sliced and whole. The sliced option is suitable for daily brewing in water, soaking in honey, and making soup; the whole option has a complete appearance, making it more suitable for gifting, double boiling, or for customers who prefer the entire ginseng root.

How to use Korean 6-Year-Old Ginseng
1. Ginseng Tea
Take about 2-3 slices of ginseng, place them in a cup, add hot water, cover and steep for about 5-10 minutes. Can be re-brewed until the ginseng flavor fades. The steeped slices can also be chewed.
2. Ginseng Chicken Soup
Take an appropriate amount of ginseng, and simmer it with chicken, red dates, goji berries, and ginger slices. Simmer on low heat for about 1.5-2 hours, then season with salt to taste. The soup has a rich ginseng aroma, suitable for nourishing soups in autumn and winter.
3. Ginseng Soaked in Honey
Place ginseng slices in a clean, airtight jar and soak them in honey. Honey can make the bittersweet taste of ginseng milder, suitable for those who dislike a strong ginseng flavor.
4. Double-Boiled Ginseng
Ginseng can be paired with fish maw, abalone, sea cucumber, lean pork, or chicken, and slow-cooked in a double boiler. Suitable for holiday soups, nourishing gifts, and high-quality family stews.
How to choose quality Korean ginseng?
- Look at the age: 6-year-old ginseng has a longer growth cycle, and its ginseng aroma and taste layers are more distinct.
- Look at the color: After steaming, ginseng usually appears a natural reddish-brown or dark brown. It should not be abnormally dark or shiny.
- Smell the aroma: Good ginseng has a natural ginseng aroma. It should not have a musty, sour, or rancid smell.
- Taste the flavor: It should taste bittersweet upon entry, with a sweet aftertaste when chewed slowly, and a rich, pure ginseng flavor.
