The 1-year-old ginseng is an incomplete palm-shaped compound leaf composed of only one and 3 leaflets, commonly known as "three flowers".

2-year-old ginseng has 1 complete palm-like leaf with 5 leaflets, commonly known as "palm".

Three-year-old ginseng has two palm-shaped compound leaves composed of five leaflets on the top of the above-ground stem, commonly known as "Erjiazi".

Five-year-old ginseng has four palm-shaped compound leaves composed of five leaflets at the top of the stem on the ground, commonly known as "four leaves".

Six-year-old ginseng has 4 or 5 palm-shaped compound leaves at the top of the above-ground stem, commonly known as "five leaves".

Ginseng that is more than 6 years old mostly has 5 palm-shaped compound leaves, and there are also 6 palm-shaped compound leaves, and "six leaves" ginseng is rare.

This only applies to garden ginseng, wild ginseng.

The age is generally determined by the number of leaves.

You can see the age.

The annual plant has only one leaf at the top of the stem, and the leaf has three leaflets, which is commonly known as "three flowers"; The biennial stem still has only one leaf, but has 5 leaflets, which is called "slap"; The three-year-old has two pairs of compound leaves with 5 leaflets, which are called "Erjiazi"; The four-year-old is increased to 3 whorls compound leaves, which are called "lampstands"; The five-year-old is increased to 4 whorling compound leaves, which are called "four leaves"; The six-year-old has 5 whorls of compound leaves on the top of the stem, called "five leaves".

Perennial herbaceous plant, likes shade and coolness, leaves have no stomata and palisade tissue, can not retain water, the temperature above 32 degrees leaves will burn, canopy closure. It usually blooms in 3 years, bears fruit in 5-6 years, blooms in May-June, and fruits in June-September. It grows at an altitude between 33 degrees and 48 degrees north latitude, and is produced in northeast China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and eastern Russia.

Ginseng is also known as yellow ginseng, goblin, sacred grass, and the king of herbs, and is one of the well-known "Three Treasures of Northeast China".

Wild ginseng dietary taboos:

1. It is not suitable to take when you have a fever.

This is because the body will have palpitations during the process of fever, and the blood circulation speed in the body will increase after taking wild ginseng, and at this time, taking wild ginseng will cause heart palpitations to worsen, making the problem of cold and fever more serious, which is not conducive to recovery.

2. It should not be taken for strong allergies.

People with strong allergies should not take it if they have a rash after taking ginseng, and even more so if they have purulent inflammation.

3. Do not take it with grapes.

If wild ginseng is taken with grapes, the nutritional value of wild ginseng will be damaged. This is because grapes contain a certain amount of tannic acid, which will bind to the proteins contained in wild ginseng and precipitate, which will affect our body's absorption of nutrients.

4. Do not eat radish after taking it.

Wild ginseng is a great tonic herb, and it has a good effect of nourishing vitality after taking it. It is recommended not to eat radishes, including white radish, carrot and green radish, after taking wild ginseng. This is because radish has a diuretic effect, and if the two are mixed together, it will greatly reduce the nourishing effect of wild ginseng on the body.

5. Do not drink tea after taking it.

If you drink tea after taking wild ginseng, the tea polyphenols contained in the tea will be combined with wild ginseng, which will reduce the tonic effect of wild ginseng.

6. Do not use hardware cookware to fry and stew.

7. Do not take it at the same time with veratrol, five spirit butter and honey locust, so as not to reduce the efficacy.

8. Pure wild ginseng has a strong medicinal effect, take it daily according to your own situation, do not take it indiscriminately.

Wild ginseng can be seen from the number of leaves.

Wild ginseng grows only one compound leaf on the ground in 1-5 years, and the small petiole is not obvious, commonly known as "three flowers"; In 5-10 years, it can grow a complete five-piece palm-shaped compound leaf, commonly known as "palm"; After 10-20 years, there are two palm-shaped compound leaves, commonly known as "Erjiazi";

After 50 years, wild ginseng has four palm-shaped compound leaves, commonly known as "four-pint leaves", and enters the robust period. Wild ginseng with five palm-shaped compound leaves, commonly known as "five-grade leaves", is about 80-100 ginseng years old; Wild ginseng with six palm-shaped compound leaves, commonly known as "six-pint leaves", is more than 100 years old and extremely rare.

Ginseng can identify age by its leaves.

The original ginseng plant depends on the number of leaves, the jargon is called a few leaves, generally 1 leaf in 1 year, 2 years of compound leaves, up to 6 compound leaves; 5 leaflets, the herbs look at the head of the reed, there are stem and leaf residues, generally the longer the reed bowl, the longer the growth period; The diameter of the garden ginseng is long, the thick age is long, the wild ginseng is very rare, and there are understory ginseng on the market that the reed head is long, please pay attention to the identification.

Yes, there are about five leaves in each group (**), and each additional year will have an additional group of leaves.

The 1-year-old ginseng is an incomplete palm-shaped compound leaf composed of only one and 3 leaflets, commonly known as "three flowers".

2-year-old ginseng has 1 complete palm-like leaf with 5 leaflets, commonly known as "palm".

The 3-year-old ginseng has two palm-shaped compound leaves composed of 5 leaflets at the top of the stem on the ground, commonly known as "Erjiazi".

The 4-year-old ginseng has three palm-shaped compound leaves composed of 5 leaflets at the top of the stem on the ground, commonly known as "lampstand".

Five-year-old ginseng has four palm-shaped compound leaves composed of five leaflets at the top of the stem on the ground, commonly known as "four leaves".

Six-year-old ginseng has 4 or 5 palm-shaped compound leaves at the top of the above-ground stem, commonly known as "five leaves".

Ginseng that is more than 6 years old mostly has 5 palm-shaped compound leaves, and there are also 6 palm-shaped compound leaves, and "six leaves" ginseng is rare.

This only applies to garden ginseng, and the age of wild ginseng is generally determined regardless of the number of leaves.

The main way to distinguish the age of ginseng is to look at the reed bowl, a reed bowl can be counted as a year, the leaves of ginseng will degenerate after a few years, and the 15-year-old ginseng may also be five leaves.

Ginseng grows mostly in the climatic conditions with an average temperature of -23-5 in January and an average temperature of 20-26 in July, with strong cold tolerance, low temperature tolerance of -40, and a suitable temperature of 15-25.

It generally grows in places with annual accumulated temperature of 2000-3000, frost-free period of 125-150 days, snow cover of 20-44 cm, and annual precipitation of 500-1000 mm. Ginseng prefers cold and humid climates, likes oblique and diffuse light, and avoids strong light and high temperatures.

Look at the neck of the ginseng's head like a flush toilet lid! Look there! Sun-drying is water loss, and the kind of American ginseng my mother bought is artificially cultivated, artificially dried with special water evaporation treatment!

It's almost the same as a radish before drying! It is all artificially and quickly cultivated, and it does not take a year or two, and it is the same breeding method as raising KFC chickens.

Hello, look at the number of blades! Ginseng years can be roughly estimated.

Hello! Yes, there are about five leaves in each group of ginseng (Baishi Kong**), and with each additional year, there will be an additional group of leaf-type returns.

Hope it helps, I hope it will be of great importance.

The older the ginseng, the higher the value, and it takes decades for wild ginseng weighing more than 50 grams to grow, and for larger ones, it takes one or two hundred years. As the saying goes: seven taels for ginseng,. Eight taels are treasures (referring to the old scales).

There are generally two ways to identify the age of ginseng, one is to look at the stem, leaf and fruit; The second is to look at the ginseng root. However, the use of ginseng stems, leaves, and fruits to identify ginseng age is less reliable. Generally, the ginseng root is used to identify the age of ginseng, and the ginseng root is human-shaped, which is composed of reed head (head), potato (upper limbs), taproot (dodging dry), lateral roots (lower limbs), fibrous roots (feet), etc.

The main root body has the difference of shun, rhomboid, pimple rhomboid, etc., among which there are more rhombic bodies and less rhomboid bodies. The reed head, skin color, and texture of ginseng root can be used as the basis for identifying ginseng age, but the number of reed bowls shall prevail. The reed bowl is the scar left by the rebirth of the stems and leaves of the upper part of the ginseng year by year, and there are several reed bowls, which can be considered to be several years old.

But this is also relative, because the first three years of garden ginseng growth and the first few decades of mountain ginseng growth reed bowl has often disappeared or is not very obvious, which requires empirical reference to the comprehensive conditions to identify the age of ginseng. Experience has proved that the ginseng that is not more than 100 years old will not be "round reed". Generally, if the reed is round and long, and there are dozens of reed bowls, then this ginseng must be more than 100 years old.

If the ginseng is round and long, the skin is old and yellow, the lines are fine, the body is beautiful, the whip is bearded, the pearl knots are many, etc., it must be more than 100 years old mountain treasures, and it is a rare treasure.
