slice of ginseng
…cup of tea with honey and slice of ginseng… enjoyed in the western restaurant in Seoul…
The English word ginseng derives from the Chinese term rénshēn. Rén means "Person" andshēn means "plant root"; this refers to the root's characteristic forked shape, which resembles the legs of a person… By the 1900s, due to the demand for ginseng having outstripped the available wild supply, Korea began the commercial cultivation of ginseng which continues to this day. In 2010, nearly all of the world's 80,000 tons of ginseng in international commerce was produced in four countries: China, South Korea, Canada, and the United States. Commercial ginseng is sold in over 35 countries with sales exceeded $2.1 billion, of which half came from South Korea… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginseng
