Honey soaked ginseng can be preserved for several years

Honey soaked ginseng can usually be stored for 1-3 years under sealed and dark conditions. The storage time is affected by factors such as the dryness of ginseng, the purity of honey, and the storage environment. The osmotic pressure environment formed by the combination of honey and ginseng can inhibit microbial growth, but the water in ginseng may gradually precipitate and dilute the honey. Fresh ginseng, due to its high water content, has a short shelf life after soaking and should be used up within one year; Dried ginseng slices combined with high-purity honey can be stored in a cool and dry place and sealed for up to 3 years. Glass containers are more conducive to isolating oxygen and avoiding spoilage than plastic containers. If the storage temperature fluctuates frequently or the container is poorly sealed, honey may undergo fermentation and bubbling, and the active ingredients of ginseng may also be oxidized and lost. Stop eating immediately when sour taste, mold spots or layering appear. Patients with diabetes and those with damp heat constitution should not take it for a long time. Children, pregnant women and other special groups should consult a TCM doctor before use. It is recommended to use dry tableware every time you use it to avoid contaminating the remaining products.
