                                Annual per capita ginseng consumption in South Korea has seen a decline in recent years, falling from 500g in 2009 to around 300g by 2017. This statistic highlights a divergence between the perception and reality of daily ginseng intake, revealing that not all Koreans take ginseng daily, but rather participate in a nuanced tradition influenced by cost and convenience.
