Siberian Ginseng Root

Siberian ginseng root, also known as Eleutherococcus senticosus or eleuthero, is a woody root native to northeastern Asia and valued for its earthy, slightly bitter flavour. Traditionally, it has been used in East Asian culinary practices, where the root is simmered to make herbal teas or added to soups and broths for a subtle, warming note. Its taste pairs well with sweet or tangy ingredients, making it a versatile addition to both savoury and functional recipes.

In the kitchen, dried or powdered Siberian ginseng root can be stirred into smoothies, herbal lattes, or energy balls, or blended into soups and stews. To prepare a simple tea, the sliced root can be steeped in hot water, sometimes with honey for added sweetness. The root’s robust character also makes it suitable for use in custom spice blends and wellness-focused culinary creations.

To preserve its freshness, store Siberian ginseng root in an airtight container away from moisture and light. Whether enjoyed as a warming beverage, blended into nourishing recipes, or used as part of a creative herbal blend, Siberian ginseng root offers a distinctive, earthy flavour and a connection to traditional botanical practices.
