Korean Astragalus Root 3.5oz | Premium Hwanggi & Milk Vetch

The Root of Vitality and Strength

Korean Astragalus Root, known locally as Hwanggi (황기), is one of the most treasured herbs in Korean tradition. Often referred to as Milk Vetch Root, it is widely used to replenish energy and support general well-being. Grown in the nutrient-rich soils of Korea, our premium Astragalus roots are carefully harvested, cleaned, and dried to preserve their natural potency and mild, earthy aroma.

Why Choose Korean Astragalus (Hwanggi)?

While Astragalus is grown in many regions, Korean Hwanggi is prized for its superior quality and firm texture. It is a staple ingredient for those seeking a natural, caffeine-free way to maintain vitality, especially during changing seasons or hot summer days.

• Premium Origin: 100% Korean-grown Milk Vetch Root, ensuring high safety and quality standards.
• Mild Flavor: Unlike bitter herbs, Hwanggi has a sweet, light taste that blends perfectly into soups and teas without overpowering other ingredients.
• Energy Support: Traditionally used to boost "Qi" (vital energy) and support the body's natural strength.
• Versatile Use: Essential for Korean ginseng chicken soup (Samgyetang) or as a daily herbal water.

Culinary & Wellness Uses

1. Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup):
Hwanggi is the key to the deep, comforting flavor of Samgyetang. It pairs exceptionally well with chicken, garlic, and jujube, creating a broth that is both savory and revitalizing.

2. Herbal Tea (Hwanggi-cha):
For a lighter daily tonic, boil the roots to make a simple tea. It is excellent for hydration and maintaining energy levels throughout the day.

How to Brew (Simple Herbal Water)

• Rinse: Lightly wash 2–3 pieces of Astragalus root under running water.
• Boil: Add the roots to 1.5 liters of water in a pot.
• Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30–40 minutes.
• Enjoy: Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for a cool drink. You may add honey or jujube for extra sweetness.
