Panax ginseng, often referred to as the "mysterious medicine," has been revered for thousands of years for its health-enhancing properties, especially in Korea, China, and Japan. Traditionally, ginseng is categorized into three main types based on its processing method: fresh ginseng, white ginseng, and Korean red ginseng.
Among these, Korean red ginseng stands out as unpeeled fresh ginseng that has undergone a meticulous steaming and drying process. This processing gives it a distinctive light yellowish-brown to light reddish-brown color. The root, along with its rhizome, is steamed until the moisture content falls below 14%, resulting in a hard texture that allows for long-term preservation. Additionally, the heat treatment induces secondary component conversion, generating bioactive compounds such as ginsenosides Rg2, Rh1, Rg3, and arginine-fructose-glucose—components absent in fresh or white ginseng.
