The dried roots can be sliced thinly and steeped in hot water for ginseng tea, or simmered gently for a longer period to draw out a fuller flavor. Some cooks add ginseng slices to chicken soup, bone broth, or rice dishes. A common method is to simmer a few root slices in water for several minutes before drinking. Store the dried roots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, transfer them to an airtight container to protect against moisture and humidity.

Korean ginseng, called goryeo insam in Korean, is cultivated in South Korea and harvested after six years of growth, the traditional maturation period for ginseng roots in Korean agriculture. This product is classified as dried ginseng, or geonsam, with the outer skin retained, a format known as pibu jiksam. The 25 roots in this package are graded as first grade, a quality classification within Korean ginseng grading standards. Six-year-old ginseng roots are the standard harvest age in Korean ginseng cultivation, as this is when the roots reach their full size and maturity.
