American Ginseng Powder

1 Oz American Ginseng Powder

Our American Ginseng Powder comes from Burmeister Ginseng Powder out of Wisconsin. Their American ginseng root is ground to a fine powder and nothing else. Enhance anything like smoothies, protein shakes, soups, stews, and stir-fry.

The flavor of American ginseng starts with a complex earthy, woodsy, bitter bite that ends with a nutty bittersweet finish. Much like chocolate, coffee and other delicious bitters, this flavor 'pops' and is wonderful with a bit of added sweet. Ginseng goes great with green teas, any ginger/mulling-herb spices, chai, other herbal teas and juices.

• 1/2 teaspoon (2g) per cup (8-12 oz) hot water
• Steep 5 minutes in hot water. The longer it is better, you cannot over-steep ginseng. Grounds are good for 2 steeps, and the steeped root is completely edible. No tea bags to clog!
• Always product of the USA.
• Can be used to make your own capsules or tincture
• Great as a pre-workout, or post-workout recovery drink

Other ways to use ginseng powder

• Add to your morning coffee. The apoptogenic properties in ginseng will provide sustainable cellular energy and minimize the crash from caffeine.
• Add to your smoothie to avoid high blood-sugar spikes. Ginseng is very low in calories.
• Make a DIY skin mask or poultice to help reduce rashes, bug bites, wrinkles, minimize signs of aging, promote elasticity and collagen production, reduce puffiness and inflammation, lighten or brighten your skin. The saponins in ginseng cause suds and go right through your skin (transdermal).
• Use as a bar bitter for cocktails to make your drinks healthier. Makes for an interesting Old Fashioned.
• Add sweets, syrups, jams, jellies and frostings. Ginseng brings the bitterness that will make your baked goods unforgettable.
