GINSENG CHICKEN SOUP


GINSENG
泡參
originates from America



Wild Ginseng
野生泡參




Cultivated Ginseng
種植泡參

The number of lines across the roots
represent the age of the ginseng

As seen in the picture
the wild ginseng has many lines across

whereas
the cultivated ones have less
but still 
the batch above is more than 5 years old 

Cultivated ginseng 
must be at least 5 years old
to have its medicinal value

Wild Ginseng 
has higher potency
compared to the cultivated ones

That contributes to the reason
why the price of wild ginseng is 4 - 5 times higher 
than the cultivated ones



Ginseng Chicken Soup

1 chicken thigh
10g ginseng roots, sliced
5g wolfberry (optional)

1) rinse wolfberry
2) all ingredients into the double boiler bowl
3) add enough water for one person
4) double boil for 3-4 hours
5) serve warm
