Chinese Shizhu Ginseng 16 Roots

Shizhu Ginseng (Selected Grade)

Shizhu Ginseng, also known as Shizhuzi Ginseng, is a geographical indication protected specialty from Kuandian, Liaoning, China, and is hailed as "the crown of garden-grown ginseng". This product is a "Selected Grade" premium ginseng, cultivated in the unique mountain climate and humus soil on the north bank of the Yalu River, simulating the natural growth environment of wild ginseng. It combines the quality of wild ginseng with the stability of garden-grown ginseng, making it a rare tonic in China.

Growth Cycle & Core Advantages

Shizhu Ginseng has a growth cycle of 15-20 years, with no fertilizers or pesticides used throughout the process, fully simulating the ecological environment of wild ginseng. The long growth cycle allows the ginseng root to fully accumulate active ingredients such as ginsenosides and polysaccharides, resulting in a delicate, old-skinned, deeply textured root with long fibrous roots and pearl-like nodules. Its appearance and medicinal value are very close to wild ginseng, making it a top-grade ginseng.

Specification Information

The "25" on the package indicates a specification of 25 roots/600g (1 jin, traditional Chinese unit), meaning each ginseng root weighs an average of about 24g. The thicker and plumper the root, the more sufficient the nutrient accumulation, and the significantly higher the content of active ingredients compared to ordinary garden-grown ginseng. This is an important indicator of quality and grade.
