wow... I had no idea it was this bad.
But especially for the ginseng, it isn't too surprising. Literal tons of supposed ginseng are sold, but because of that it is now very rare in the wild and it is very slow and difficult to grow in cultivation.
"Ginseng is sometimes a difficult plant to grow. It is a plant that requires commitment for the fact that roots are best when left to maturity for 5-10 years. It is a committed gardener that decides to plant a crop, waiting 5-10 years to harvest the best and most potent roots is a task filled with risk, patience, and an eye to the distant future. "

so how could there be so much of it on the market? Because they cheat, that's how.

I recently got some from Walmart, I suppose I will just toss them out.
I will get them from this place, I even know the owner and trust them to be of the highest quality.
