Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does cooking with red ginseng reduce its health benefits?

A1: For maximum potency, red ginseng is often consumed as an extract or capsule. However, using it in recipes, especially in smoothies or as a garnish, does not significantly diminish its benefits. High-heat cooking for prolonged periods may have a minor effect, but red ginseng remains a powerful and effective ingredient. The goal is to make daily consumption enjoyable, and a delicious recipe is a great way to do that.

Q2: Which red ginseng product is best for cooking?

A2: This depends on the recipe. For smoothies and beverages, our liquid extracts and stick pouches are perfect. For desserts or as a garnish, the honey-sliced ginseng provides both sweetness and texture. For savory dishes, a small amount of our concentrated extract can add an earthy, umami depth. RootTerra offers a variety of forms so you can choose what works best for your recipe.

Q3: Is it safe for children to eat dishes made with red ginseng?

A3: Red ginseng is generally considered safe for consumption by children in moderation. However, it is always best to consult with a pediatrician before introducing any new supplement into a child's diet. Products like our red ginseng candy or honey-sliced ginseng are often a good way to introduce the benefits in a palatable form. Be mindful of the dosage and ensure it is appropriate for the child's age and weight.
