Storage of Ginseng

Because ginseng contains more sugars, mucus and volatile oils, it is prone to deterioration due to moisture, oiliness, mold, color change, and insect damage. There are several ways to store ginseng:

1. Conventional storage method: For ginseng that is truly dried, seal it in a plastic bag to isolate it from air and store it in a cool place.

2. Desiccant drying method: Place an appropriate amount of desiccant, such as quicklime, charcoal, etc., at the bottom of a sealable cylinder, tube, or box, then wrap the ginseng in paper and put it in, then seal it with a lid.

3. Low temperature preservation method: This is the more ideal method. Ginseng must be dried before storage. The best time to expose it to the sun is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., but ginseng should not be exposed to the sun for a long time. At the same time, ginseng for medicinal use has reached a certain degree of dryness. Generally, you only need to turn the ginseng over and dry it for 1 to 2 hours in the afternoon. After it cools down, wrap it in a plastic bag, tie the bag tightly, and place it in the freezer of the refrigerator. It can be stored for a long time.
