Black Ginseng · 대한민국

Black ginseng is fresh ginseng steamed, fermented with steam, and then dried. Black ginseng is light blackish-brown or black-brown. This cycle of steaming, boiling, and drying is repeated to produce black ginseng. This is an application of 'gu-jeung-gu-po' (steaming and drying treatment repeated nine times), which is one traditional medicine processing method. Particularly, the core technology of this process is to control temperature, pressure, and moisture in a way that maximizes the efficacy of the original elements of red ginseng.
