◎ Ginseng vs. Red Ginseng
Ginseng is a well-known Korean traditional medicinal herb. When ginseng is steamed and dried nine times, it turns into red ginseng, which has a reddish color. This process enhances the preservation and increases the active components, making red ginseng beneficial for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Its unique sweet-bitter flavor contributes to its popularity as a health food.
