Springtime Appetizers Do you know the differences between true burdock, ground burdock, and wild burdock, and which one is more precious?
First, true burdock When we talk about true burdock, we usually refer to true burdock that grows on the burdock tree. It is the most popular and has a soft taste because of its bitter taste and subtle fragrance.
Second, ground aralia Unlike the true aralia that grows on trees, ground aralia refers to the herb Dokhwal that grows on the ground. It has excellent medicinal properties including anticancer effects, but it is easy to grow, so it is the cheapest.
Third, Korean ginseng Korean ginseng refers to the shoots of the Korean ginseng tree. It has a stronger bitter taste and aroma than Korean ginseng and contains saponin, a major component of ginseng, so it has excellent medicinal properties. However, it is classified as a rare vegetable because the harvesting period is short.
All three types of Korean ginseng contain various nutrients such as saponin, vitamins, and minerals, so they have beneficial effects on health. In particular, Korean ginseng and ground ginseng are known to be more effective for joint health, while Korean ginseng is known to be more effective for blood circulation and fatigue relief.
