Chinese herbal ginseng price

The practical value of wild ginseng is very high and the price is very expensive. Because of its preciousness, some low-quality wild ginseng is now available in the market and sold at sky-high prices as good wild ginseng. As people's living standards are getting higher and higher, more and more people choose wild ginseng for food supplement, but many people don't know how much ginseng costs per catty. Today, the editor will tell you how much ginseng costs per catty.

How much is a pound of ginseng

The price of ginseng varies according to the quality of the wild ginseng, ranging from 1,000 yuan per catty to 1 million yuan per catty. Therefore, the price of ginseng still depends on the quality of the wild ginseng. So how do we distinguish the quality of wild ginseng? We need to recognize the "five shapes" and know the "six bodies".

The five shapes refer to whiskers, reeds, skin, grain, and body.

1. Whiskers: The whiskers are strip-shaped, old and tough, sparse and long, with small millet-like bumps on them called "pearl dots". Those that are white, tender and crisp (also known as water beard) are not pure wild ginseng.

2. Reed: The reed is relatively long and is divided into two-section reed, three-section reed, linear reed, and goose-neck reed. Two-section reed - there are horse-tooth reed and round reed. Three types of reeds - there are horse-tooth reed, round reed and piled flower reed. The so-called horse tooth reed has obvious stem scars on its underground stems, shaped like horse teeth, mostly in the upper part of the underground stems. The so-called round reed is the stem scar on the underground stem that becomes flat over the years and has a cylindrical shape. The so-called goose neck reed has a long and thin underground stem that is slightly curved, like a goose neck. The so-called thread reed is because of its long life, the reed bowl on the underground stem is long and flat, and the underground stem is thin and long.

3. Skin: Thick skin, brown in color, dense and shiny. Ginseng with tender and white skin is not pure wild ginseng.

4. Pattern: There are fine and deep screw-shaped longitudinal patterns on the shoulder above the hair roots. If the vertical lines are not smooth, shallow and intermittent, then it is not pure wild ginseng.

5. Body: refers to the hair roots.

The six bodies refer to smart, stupid, old, young, horizontal, and smooth.

1. Ling: refers to the mountain ginseng with a good shape, beautiful appearance, and clearly separable body and legs. Most of the legs have two legs and the bifurcated angle is large. According to the shape, it is divided into "horn body" and "rash body".

2. Stupid: It means that the root of ginseng is straight, the body is dull and ugly, and even if it has two legs, the size or length of the two legs are uneven.

3. Old: The skin of wild ginseng is old, yellow-brown in color, with fine and firm vertical lines. Those with tender white skin are not pure wild ginseng.

4. Tender: If the color is white, the vertical lines are not smooth and shallow, and the roots are tender, brittle, white and easy to break, then it is not pure wild ginseng.

5. Horizontal: refers to ginseng with short and thick roots and legs that are mostly bent and stretched to the sides, which is mostly seen in wild ginseng.

6. Shun: refers to ginseng roots that are straight and smooth, with one leg or two legs closed, which are mostly not wild ginseng.
