1. By growth environment, there are three types: wild mountain ginseng, transplanted mountain ginseng, and cultivated ginseng (also called garden ginseng).
(1) Wild mountain ginseng is truly wild from the moment it sprouts, with no human interference throughout its entire process. It is absolutely pure and natural, growing by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
(2) Transplanted mountain ginseng is a type of ginseng grown by moving the seeds (seedlings) of wild mountain ginseng into an environment suited to the growth of wild mountain ginseng, then harvesting it after more than ten years of natural growth. Its effects are similar to those of wild ginseng.
(3) Garden ginseng is cultivated ginseng. Garden ginseng is mostly grown in the Jilin area of our country, so it is also called “Jilin ginseng”. In fact, garden ginseng also needs to be grown for 5 to 7 years before it can be harvested.
2. By place of origin, there are five types: Korean ginseng, Jilin ginseng, American ginseng, white ginseng, and red ginseng.
(1) Korean ginseng is produced on the Korean Peninsula. Fresh Korean ginseng is also called "water ginseng" because it contains a lot of moisture when freshly unearthed.
(2) Jilin ginseng is one of the Three Treasures of the Northeast, and the most famous among them is Changbai Mountain ginseng.
(3) American ginseng (xiyangshen) originated in the United States, which was formerly called the "Flower Flag Nation", hence the name. The most commonly used Korean ginseng can also be divided by processing method into white ginseng, red ginseng, and taiji ginseng.
(4) White ginseng is made from 4-to-6-year-old fresh Korean ginseng as the raw material. After the outer skin is peeled off, it is directly dried naturally in sunlight or hot air, and takes on a slightly white yellow color, hence it is called white ginseng.
(5) Red ginseng is made by steaming water ginseng and drying it until the moisture content is below 40%. It is a hardened ginseng with a yellow-brown appearance and is suitable for long-term storage.
