Red ginseng and black ginsengRed ginseng and black ginseng, and how to read the differenceRed ginseng is made by steaming and drying fresh ginseng. Black ginseng undergoes this process three or more times. A darker color alone does not determine quality.
Reading a label figureWhere the saponin 40 mg/g figure sits on the KOGIN packageThe ‘saponin 40 mg/g or more’ on the box is not a measured value for one finished stick. It is a lower limit set on the powder raw material. We start by pointing to the number in the parentheses and the field it sits in.

Our editorial principles
Hongbaek News carries only the articles that read the labeling printed on the box. It points to the fields you can check for yourself, such as the food type, the ingredient name, the net content and the nutrition information, and it does not write about claims about the body that have not been confirmed, or rank one product above another.
Every figure is written together with what it counts. '15% red ginseng powder' is the share that the powder takes in the finished product, '100% red ginseng root body' is the part of the raw ginseng used for that powder, and 'saponin 40 mg/g or more' is a specification stated per 1 g of powder raw material. Percentages on the same box are written separately when the basis differs.
Stories closer to daily life, such as how to take and how to store it, continue in Hongbaek Articles. The full labeling of the product is set out on the product label information page.
