Tag: Asian ginseng

Ginsenosides, a class of triterpene saponins, are found almost exclusively in plants from the *Panax* genus. While the roots of the ginseng plant are a source, different parts, like leaves and fine roots, can contain distinct ginsenoside profiles and higher concentrations.

Although clinical evidence has not fully confirmed the extent of its purported benefits, people have been consuming ginseng for centuries for its potential health effects. The ginseng root can be consumed in many different ways, including eating it raw, but it is important to understand the proper preparation and potential risks involved.
