White ginseng (baeksam) is ginseng that is peeled and dried rather than steamed, giving it a milder, lighter character. These four-year roots are dried in the traditional curved “goksam” form, the way Korean households have prepared ginseng for generations.

What's Inside

Whole ginseng root grown in Korea, peeled and dried (not steamed) into white ginseng. It naturally contains ginseng saponins (ginsenosides).

Traditional “Goksam” Shape

Each root is curved during drying in the traditional “goksam” style, which helps keep the roots intact. About 50 roots per box.

Naturally Vegan & Caffeine-Free

A single ingredient with no fillers, additives, or sweeteners — suitable for vegan and vegetarian cooking, with no caffeine.

How to Use It

• Ginseng tea: Add about 0.7 oz (3 to 4 roots) to about 34 fl oz (1 L) of water and simmer gently until it reduces to about one-third. Enjoy two to three times a day. Children under 15 use about half.
• Soups & broths: Drop one or two whole roots into soups, stews, or broths while cooking.
• Add a few jujube dates and a slice of ginger when brewing for a rounder flavor.
• After simmering, the softened roots can be eaten. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

It is a Product of Korea, sourced by Kosbee and shipped from our New Jersey warehouse, so you skip the long wait of overseas shipping.
