인삼은 일본어로는 진셍이 아니라 닌진 이라고 합니다. 그렇다고 중국어 발음도 아니고요. 왜 인삼이 영어로 진셍이 된건지 정확한 이유는 아무도 모릅니다. 중국에서 조선산 인삼을 사가던 유럽 상인들이 중국 어딘가의 사투리 발음을 듣고 다시 자기들 귀에 들리는대로 적어서 진셍이라는 근본없는 발음이 된 것으로 추정됩니다.
Note: For anyone on any kind of medication please check with a pharmacist before consuming ginseng. It can interact with quite a few medications and this should always be checked with a medical professional before consumption
Aside from the first dish (samgyetang), all of these items are essentially medicinal products. They would be classified as health supplements. And even with the samgyetang, Koreans say it will boost your immune system and prevent you from getting sick.
i feel koreans take health and food and make it into a concept. the more expensive foods are pricy like ginseng and fruits. kinda wish they mentioned the dates that's one of the main components in that stew

Among the food culture of Korea, special things that distinguish it from the food culture of other countries. // 1. Perfect vegan food represented by Korean Buddhist temple food 2. An endless variety of soup dishes 3. Kimchi: Vegetables fermented with animal protein represented by cabbage kimchi. In the past, only Koreans made and ate it. There are over 800 types of kimchi. 4. Jeotgal: A fermented animal-based sauce made from seafood. In Korea, there are more than 140 different types of salted fish. 5. Ssam: It means wrapping all the ingredients you want to eat in various leafy vegetables represented by lettuce. However, unlike burritos, you have to swallow them in one bite, so you need to adjust the amount of ingredients to be wrapped appropriately. 6. Herbal Medicine Ingredients : Herbal medicine ingredients are not only eaten for special diseases or health, but are also often used for general home cooking. For example, as ingredients for Samgye-tang, Mulberry, Tree Aralia, Eleutherococcus Sessiliflorus, Mongolian Milkvetch, Korean Angelica, Ginger, Jujube and Korean Ginseng are used. 7. Namul : South Korea is the country that eats the most dishes made with only vegetables without meat and seafood protein. Namul are foods made with one edible plant as the main ingredient. Examples of the types of Namul include Shepherd's Purse, Stringy Stonecrop, Korean Angelica-tree, Korean Wild Chive, Butterbur, Bracken, Doellingeria Scabra, Bamboo Shoot, Chamnamul and Cirsium Setidens. // Etc... Korea shows a distinctly different food culture from neighboring countries in Far East Asia (China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Japan).
The red ginseng sachet really does work! Whenever I feel exhausted and for girls post period and feeling tired, drink a packet of these and I feel much more energized.
I force my husband to drink those extract ginseng and even though he hates the taste he admitted it does help him with energy level and especially with hangover. He says his hangovers are lessened when he takes the extracts on regular basis. Lol thus, allowing him to drink more often. My plans kind of back fired. So I stopped buying it for him. Lol
I guess can you try taking him to an alcoholic therapy group such as Alcoholics Anonymous? The problem seems to be more in his mind and not in his body.
That’s nice, if ever I encounter one in store/mall near us I’d definitely buy some for my parents. And I think I need the samgyetang right now, I caught a cold and that would be perfect
Korean ginseng has been famous for a long time. Ginseng used to be Korea's main trade item. Japan separately produced higher-purity ginseng-only silver for Korean ginseng and exchanged it with ginseng. Also, an incident occurred in China because of ginseng. Joseon merchants, who had all of Joseon's ginseng trade rights, gathered all Chinese merchants who declared a boycott against the too high price of ginseng. He set fire to ginseng in front of Chinese merchants, and surprised Chinese merchants bought ginseng at a higher price after promising not to boycott it again.
@@studioskim3 There seems to be some misunderstanding about the merchant. Originally, merchants of the Qing Dynasty were in a position to buy ginseng, but they often abused their power to Joseon merchants who sold ginseng, so Joseon allowed only merchants with ginseng trade rights to export it overseas to protect the price of ginseng. One day, only one person was allowed the right to trade ginseng, and he was the merchant "Im Sang-ok." Ginseng, which was not received at the right price due to merchants of the Qing Dynasty, could not be sold at the original price until a merchant named Im Sang-ok appeared. However, merchants in the Qing Dynasty, who could buy ginseng at a cheaper price, could not accept this fact, so they began boycotting all of Lim Sang-ok's ginseng.(In fact, they boycotted all ginseng distributed in the Qing Dynasty.) Lim Sang-ok thought ginseng was sold too cheaply. He offered a higher price because he was fully aware of his efforts to harvest ginseng. In the end, he set it on fire in front of merchants of the Qing Dynasty, saying that ginseng that could not be sold at its own price was not as good as garbage, and surprised merchants of the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to buy ginseng at the high price suggested by Lim Sang-ok.
Korean ginseng (insam) has been traditionally regarded as precious treasure in China and Japan. Esp. Chinese noblemen and bureaucrats liked Korean insam so much that all the Korean diplomats visiting China used to carry a lot of insam because it could be used as a bribe or an item to make money. Sometimes it sold as dear as gold of the same weight. BUT! it was mainly sansam, natural one grown in the mountains. These days you can usually buy only insam, grown by human farmers. The effect is quite different and so is the price. You have to pay a fortune for real sansam.
That's why Korean ginseng hunters would yell out "신봐따!" or "I saw god!" whenever they found sansam...lol It's an old tradition where these ginseng diggers thought the gods or spirits helped them to find this precious sansam.
The actual "In Sam" (人蔘) is a species found predominantly in Korea. The Chinese character "In" means person, or Human because the Korean species of this medicinal root is noticeably human shaped.
I like how you added the boxes onscreen with the words (i.e. Insam, Hongsam) in Hangul and romanization as well as the definitions, I hope you guys will keep doing this since I'm interested in learning Korean. And right now most of the words I know are food related. 😄
I remember there were a lot of energy capsule drinks that was a size of lipstick bottle or smaller and were selling like crazy here in Canada. I used to work at a corner shop and they were always sold out!
I remember seeing those in corner stores growing up in Ontario! I don't think I've seen them in quite a few years though, even at the Korean owned store on my street.
I think I have had the boiled chicken with ginseng meal. It was packaged in a large pouch. The bones were soft enough to be easily chewed. Two other products they did not show was powdered ginseng tea and hard candy ginseng. Both have the expected strong ginseng taste. The hard candy is actually from American ginseng, so it would unlikely be sold in Korea.
Ginseng은 한국이 Korea로 세계에 알려지게된 계기가 된 주요 상품이라고 할 수 있죠 Korea Ginseng 고려인삼이 일종의 brand로써 별다른 수출품이 없었던 한국의 가장 효자 수출품이었습니다~ 같은 무게의 금보다 더 가치 있었던 때도 있는만큼 쉽게 구하기도 힘들어서 불로초로 믿어지기도 하였다네요 ㅎㅎ
Korean chicken ginseng soup is delicious! Also our Korean friends have given us concentrated Ginseng extract & told us to use it if we need energy & if we feel like we're coming down with the flu and it definitely works in our experience haha. As for the taste of the extract haha you kinda just have to deal with it haha 😂
Yeah it smell & taste like bitter earthy licorice with less sweetness and subtle hint of dates. Once you get used to it, you do get random craving during cold winter days
I really liked having 홍삼 while I was recovering from covid actually. It helped to mellow out my sore throat and coughs and gave me a bit of calm as I was coming out of it. This was after the initial fever and body aches and headaches, but it helped during that bit a little as well. Strong taste, but you get used to it and almost kinda crave it after a few times :D Also good after a night of drinking lol.
Samgyetang is magical. Any time I have a cold or feeling my imune system has taken a bit of a bashing, I have some and very quickly feel better. Also... the only time I have ginseng candy is when a random Halomnie gives me one. ^^
The closest we have to samgyetang is a century-old recipe called "Chicken Delino". It is basically chicken stuffed with glutinous fried rice and egg then simmered. The common theme for this dish back in the day is that we use two whole chickens--a rooster and a hen--which represents two lovers. It is served whenever the groom comes to the bride's house to obtain blessing from her parents, and then they will eat it together after the blessing is given and the dowry has been paid. I think Chicken Delino will taste better if ginseng is added to it.
When Josh mentioned hongeo, I hat bittersweet memories of their collab with Eat Your Kimchi. I still can't believe Ollie vomited on-camera, right onto the table. 😅 (Eat Your Kimchi was run by a Canadian couple who were based in Korea. They also introduced their viewers to Korean food and culture, but in a different format. They later moved to Japan, but have since returned to Canada, divorced, and acrimoniously split the channel.)
Besides what was mentioned, if you have cold hand and feet it will help. I took the really concentrated form which comes in a small jar with a spoon everyday for 3 months before. Cause I was constantly sick (cold /flu ) with cold hands and feet. The immediate effects were boost in energy so I didn't need my morning coffee, no coffee crash. Intermittent result was boost in immunity and my body warmed up quicker. It felt like it really helped with my blood circulation. Long term I no longer have cold hand and feet. However it is not for everyone so check especially if you tend to run warm.
젤리스틱?도 있는 걸로 아는 데 없어서 조금 아쉬웠지만 새로워서 섄디도 오랜만에 봐서 너무 좋네요ㅎㅎ i heard there is a jelly-type insam too, and was expecting that one to be reviewed but anyway nice video like always, good to see shandy again>
As an SouthKorean; we really appreciate Jolly's people in the channel in that you guys continue to try,understand and enjoy our culture in spite of cultural differences! We can see how british people are so polite, open-minded and respectful for other people and culture! Thank you guys!
I love ginseng alcohol! My father have this huge ginseng and a cobra (dead of course) marinating in large jar of alcohol for a good 13 years now. The taste is really strong like amazingly strong but the aftertaste is nice. We take a drink from it on New Year's and birthdays.
@@LindaC616 cos there was a case of a terrible accident that three snakes which had been stored in alcohol for a year just came back alive and bit a man who opened the bottle to drink it.... it was on the chinese news you should find them
I'm rather curious as to the reasoning for censoring certain products... is it a brand thing? A youtube thing? A legality thing? So many questions. Such mystery.
I came to the comments to see if that was answered! But judging by the sound clip at the end, those were probably products made by a competitor of the sponsor
In Korea, they would usually blur out popular brands or brands in general when the show doesn’t promote the it or is not sponsored by it. On the flip side, if you’ve ever watched Korean Dramas they would usually have sponsors and the logo of the brand will be plastered on EVERYTHING. Or they would use only that brands products and blur out brands of competitors.
Ginseng Tea really helps when you catch cold. Growing, I would drink Ginseng(called 'Soosam' in Korea) + Milk + with honey combination. I recommend this as Korean. So delicious and healthy !!
My Mum brought me Ginseng Tablets from South Korea to take daily because they apparently boost all of your stats. Well, after a couple of weeks of taking them, I started to frequently get nosebleeds, and I stopped. XD
According to korean medicine, Ginseng boosts your yang(+) energy. So if someone who already full with yang energy have ginseng, it will have some backfire
Sorry but, *this storyline sounds like a manga scenario 🤣🤣🤣* But yes, ginseng was proven to thin your blood and prolong bleeding. Ginseng is good, but don't consume it too much. 'Too much' of anything is never good.
Men actually can’t take ginseng too much as it’s yang energy, and young men r full of yang energy. Thus, the amt of yang energy will be too much, and cause nosebleed
Chinese tourists buy Korean ginseng products a lot whenever they come to Korea because they don’t trust any ginseng products in their own country lol. So you guys have to be careful as well when you try to buy ginseng products in Amazon etc,. not to buy fake ones.
And then there are weirdos like myself (Singaporean Chinese) who can take pretty much any oriental medicine. Seeing them cringe at hongsam satchet was funny cause I was literally eating that everyday for an entire year 🤣 (and it made my nose allergies go away!)
Most Koreans like it, but depending on the age. The taste is too strong for younger people like us but we still know its healthy. However, as you get older, you start to enjoy it from what I have seen with my older cousins. This is why ginseng gift packages are common in Korea although they are pricey for older adults. I think we younger people can enjoy it in its tea form and in Samgyetang.
@@haru0638 interestingly, its one of Korea’s largest luxury produce exports as it is worth its weight in gold and also has a huge domestic market for it in Korea too. It also has proven health benefits according to some studies. I think 85% of people that like it are adults on the older side. My grandparents told me that you enjoy it as you get older hence why it is more desirable as you age.
Malaysian here! Love that you guys tried ginseng and was not freaked out by the taste! I love ginseng and have been taking it since I was a child, especially before and during exam season to maintain general health and boost clarity of thought.
The sweet ginseng tea has my interest! If it is possible, I would like to have a cup of it one day. And hopefully, I won't regret it. I said this because I tried a piece of ginseng once and it was definitely not one of the best experiences in my life.
I personally found those powder ones are too weak for my liking. Once you try 24 hrs+ low heat infused ginseng tea, you can't go back to commercial ones 🙈 , but it's very convenient and good for beginners though
Me, a person who has been watching Jolly for like two years now, always wondering why the channel is called Jolly. The intro, today: "Hi, I'm Josh" "And I'm Ollie". LIGHTBULB. Josh+Ollie=Jolly. How did I never figure this out
How did I miss this episode? It just popped up on my recommendation page and I'm subscribed...very odd but so glad I get a "new" Jolly episode on a Saturday. 😄
In the US, Ginseng is fairly common. You can even find it at gas stations! It's popular to take for a boost of energy- without requiring caffeine. You'll also find us eating broccoli raw, and adding honey to our tea (even more often than sugar! Lol)
That commonality might be related to why the North American ginseng is apparently endangered. Raw/wild ginseng is where it's at though. Highly sought after in Asia but the cost can be prohibitively expensive for most people
I ate samgyetang ini Korea before and what a lovely taste! Yes it's like eating a medicine lol but I remember I enjoyed it. Finish the whole bowl. The only time I felt healthy while eating chicken.
When my dad was working in South Korea before, he gifted by my cousins a box of Korean ginseng capsules. they said they played basketball for almost half of the day when they take the capsule. They don't easily get tired. 😅
I remember that time when i felt like getting cold and have a very bad flu, i dont know why but am thinking of eating samgyetang and i did eat it. The next day, i feel refresh and flu is gone. Since then when i feel like having cold, samgyetang is what I'm looking for before any other medicines.

We used to drink these 50/50 ginseng/guarana tablets when we partied hard as young ones.. would get you right back and active even after a long night of going crazy.
The most famous function of the HongSam is the tuning of autonomic nerve system by the Saponin(;it is some kind of Alkaloid) It can control the suitable excting level of the sympathetic & parasympathetic nerve system. So it will help your blood pressure to be in normal range. And your immune system works well. So i can recommend you to take it for your health.
My favorite Korean actor, Lee Joongi loves hongsam so much, he's really packed with energy and look really young at the age of 40. He can easily play a role of 21 years old university student in his current drama, Again My Life because of his young look. Go get your hongsam everyone!
I've had a Korean ginseng flavored candy before. My friend's sister brought home some from her trip to Korea. I was sooooo excited to taste it because it's something foreign. So I peeled the wrap, put the candy on my mouth... throw it out after a second then proceed to writhe because to the taste. I can't even explain it. It's just so overpowering my mouth was like NOPE, BYE!
I’ve gone genseng hunting in my state (Indiana) and people pay a lot for them tho they are somewhat hard to find it’s like hunting for morels but a little harder.
Wow after a while I almost felt like I could taste the Hongsam, since I've had it before. I started off a bit concerned about their tongues because they would have so much of the overpowering flavor of ginseng one after the other, but I think they did well not to have extract and alcohol in the same video haha
"Feel the ginseng, feel the power!" lol... Ollie with the hilarious soundbite. Ginseng in the morning is better than coffee!

As a Brit, I have actually heard of Ginseng but - probably unsurprisingly - only in medicinal products! I had no idea it was so prevalent in food.

Same! It’s actually where i knew Josh and Ollie for the first time, because i subbed to EYK first. Kinda crazy how everything turned out like today
Fellow EYK fan here! Good times.
The OGs. Good times.
@@farahfitriani Me too! 😄
Besides what was mentioned, if you have cold hand and feet it will help.
I took the really concentrated form which comes in a small jar with a spoon everyday for 3 months before. Cause I was constantly sick (cold /flu ) with cold hands and feet.
The immediate effects were boost in energy so I didn't need my morning coffee, no coffee crash.
Intermittent result was boost in immunity and my body warmed up quicker.
It felt like it really helped with my blood circulation.
Long term I no longer have cold hand and feet.
However it is not for everyone so check especially if you tend to run warm.
I saw the thumbnail and instantly thought of the mandrake from Harry Potter
Or literature class...
젤리스틱?도 있는 걸로 아는 데 없어서 조금 아쉬웠지만 새로워서 섄디도 오랜만에 봐서 너무 좋네요ㅎㅎ
i heard there is a jelly-type insam too, and was expecting that one to be reviewed but anyway nice video like always, good to see shandy again>
홍삼농축액은 만약 여러개를 들고와서 친구들이나 직장동료 모임등에서 나눠줄때 숫자가 맞지않는다면 눈치싸움이 일어날정도로 인기가 높은데 영국분들에게는 너무도 강한 자극이라 기호에 맞지않을수도 있겠네요
와 섄디 너무 오랜만이에요,,,,,!!!!
As an SouthKorean; we really appreciate Jolly's people in the channel in that you guys continue to try,understand and enjoy our culture in spite of cultural differences! We can see how british people are so polite, open-minded and respectful for other people and culture! Thank you guys!
Best way to start the day! ❤️
아니, 섄디 너무 좋은 거 아니냐고 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
영국남자의 30%정도는 최고의 게스트 분들이 아닐지.....😂😂😂😂💯❤❤❤❤❤
More episodes with Shandy, please!
I love ginseng alcohol! My father have this huge ginseng and a cobra (dead of course) marinating in large jar of alcohol for a good 13 years now. The taste is really strong like amazingly strong but the aftertaste is nice. We take a drink from it on New Year's and birthdays.
I love that you specify that the cobra was dead! 😄
@@LindaC616 cos there was a case of a terrible accident that three snakes which had been stored in alcohol for a year just came back alive and bit a man who opened the bottle to drink it.... it was on the chinese news you should find them
@@user-us9pj5vo4x no way! 😨
@@LindaC616 I mentioned this on reddit and I got asked if the cobra was alive 😂😂

I'm rather curious as to the reasoning for censoring certain products... is it a brand thing? A youtube thing? A legality thing?
So many questions. Such mystery.
Thank you for asking this question I was trying to figure that out myself.
I was guessing that it had to do with a sponsor maybe? Like one product was the sponsor so the rest have to be blurred?
I came to the comments to see if that was answered! But judging by the sound clip at the end, those were probably products made by a competitor of the sponsor
In Korea, they would usually blur out popular brands or brands in general when the show doesn’t promote the it or is not sponsored by it.
On the flip side, if you’ve ever watched Korean Dramas they would usually have sponsors and the logo of the brand will be plastered on EVERYTHING. Or they would use only that brands products and blur out brands of competitors.
Ginseng Tea really helps when you catch cold. Growing, I would drink Ginseng(called 'Soosam' in Korea) + Milk + with honey combination. I recommend this as Korean. So delicious and healthy !!
고3때 처음 먹어본 짜먹는 홍삼을 달고 살았어요 ㅋㅋ 그 덕분인지 감기한번 안걸리고 건강하게 수능까지 갔습니다.
My Mum brought me Ginseng Tablets from South Korea to take daily because they apparently boost all of your stats. Well, after a couple of weeks of taking them, I started to frequently get nosebleeds, and I stopped. XD
According to korean medicine, Ginseng boosts your yang(+) energy. So if someone who already full with yang energy have ginseng, it will have some backfire
Is that because there's a minimum level required to use it? I'll put that in my game :D
Sorry but, *this storyline sounds like a manga scenario 🤣🤣🤣*
But yes, ginseng was proven to thin your blood and prolong bleeding. Ginseng is good, but don't consume it too much. 'Too much' of anything is never good.
that means u probably dont really need them or u take too much/frequent lol XD theyre not supposed to be eaten too much
Men actually can’t take ginseng too much as it’s yang energy, and young men r full of yang energy. Thus, the amt of yang energy will be too much, and cause nosebleed
It's always fun time with Shandy on board.
It's about time Jolly gets korean red ginseng sponsor ❤️
Chinese tourists buy Korean ginseng products a lot whenever they come to Korea because they don’t trust any ginseng products in their own country lol. So you guys have to be careful as well when you try to buy ginseng products in Amazon etc,. not to buy fake ones.
I have covid right now and was so happy to have 삼계탕 delivered to my apt last night. I felt SO nuch better afterwards. Getting more korean meals today!
Feel better!
On behalf of Korean...
Jinseng candy is a kind of dessert
after wating out😂😂😂
They are almost in the restaurant
i feel like even koreans have a hard time eating ginseng.. i personally don't like it even though i always hear about the health benefits lol
And then there are weirdos like myself (Singaporean Chinese) who can take pretty much any oriental medicine. Seeing them cringe at hongsam satchet was funny cause I was literally eating that everyday for an entire year 🤣 (and it made my nose allergies go away!)
Most Koreans like it, but depending on the age. The taste is too strong for younger people like us but we still know its healthy. However, as you get older, you start to enjoy it from what I have seen with my older cousins. This is why ginseng gift packages are common in Korea although they are pricey for older adults. I think we younger people can enjoy it in its tea form and in Samgyetang.
Few Koreans like ginseng. It's not like ginseng has no effect at all, but it's a big marketing aspect
Yeah usually old people likes it,,, I'm 24 and I can confirm that haha
@@haru0638 interestingly, its one of Korea’s largest luxury produce exports as it is worth its weight in gold and also has a huge domestic market for it in Korea too. It also has proven health benefits according to some studies. I think 85% of people that like it are adults on the older side. My grandparents told me that you enjoy it as you get older hence why it is more desirable as you age.
My parents told me, when I was a kid, do not eat/consume too much at once.
Over dose will, very interestingly, would make u unable to poop.
Malaysian here! Love that you guys tried ginseng and was not freaked out by the taste! I love ginseng and have been taking it since I was a child, especially before and during exam season to maintain general health and boost clarity of thought.
The sweet ginseng tea has my interest! If it is possible, I would like to have a cup of it one day. And hopefully, I won't regret it. I said this because I tried a piece of ginseng once and it was definitely not one of the best experiences in my life.
I personally found those powder ones are too weak for my liking. Once you try 24 hrs+ low heat infused ginseng tea, you can't go back to commercial ones 🙈 , but it's very convenient and good for beginners though
SHANDYYY are back 💃🏽🔥 lets gooo
어릴때 할머니나 부모님들이 몸약하다고 인삼 잘게 다져서 꿀에 절이고 우유에 섞어준적잇는데 존맛탱입니다...♡
Me, a person who has been watching Jolly for like two years now, always wondering why the channel is called Jolly. The intro, today: "Hi, I'm Josh" "And I'm Ollie". LIGHTBULB. Josh+Ollie=Jolly. How did I never figure this out
I remember tasting ginseng wine when I visited in Korea. It was like drinking healthy soju but stronger 😆
Throwback to when Ollie said samyetang was like Katy Perry - quite good but no one’s favorite 😂
Shandyyyy…pls bring them back more often. And the rest of too!
How did I miss this episode? It just popped up on my recommendation page and I'm subscribed...very odd but so glad I get a "new" Jolly episode on a Saturday. 😄
I feel like Josh's eyebrow wiggle synchronized with the Jolly intro theme song. Like how?! 🤣
In the US, Ginseng is fairly common. You can even find it at gas stations! It's popular to take for a boost of energy- without requiring caffeine.
You'll also find us eating broccoli raw, and adding honey to our tea (even more often than sugar! Lol)
That commonality might be related to why the North American ginseng is apparently endangered. Raw/wild ginseng is where it's at though. Highly sought after in Asia but the cost can be prohibitively expensive for most people
Isn't like that everywhere? O.o
I ate samgyetang ini Korea before and what a lovely taste! Yes it's like eating a medicine lol but I remember I enjoyed it. Finish the whole bowl. The only time I felt healthy while eating chicken.
한국에서는 엄마,아빠나 할머니 할아버지께 선물로 저런 홍삼 키트 같은거 많이 사줍니다! 건강에 좋아서 오래 살라는 의미로 주는것 같아요!
SHANDY!!! Always great to see you both! 😄
Wow, Sho looks fantastic!! Missed Shandy! :)
When my dad was working in South Korea before, he gifted by my cousins a box of Korean ginseng capsules. they said they played basketball for almost half of the day when they take the capsule. They don't easily get tired. 😅
Yay!!! So glad to see Sho back. 😊
Am I the only one who is glad that Ollie let go of the subtle mullet? He looks younger without it.
great to see Shandy again! love these guys
Shandy!!!!! I've missed them so much 😆
I remember that time when i felt like getting cold and have a very bad flu, i dont know why but am thinking of eating samgyetang and i did eat it. The next day, i feel refresh and flu is gone. Since then when i feel like having cold, samgyetang is what I'm looking for before any other medicines.
설명은 조쉬가하고 올리는 삼계탕 먹방ㅋㅋㅋ 게스트들보다 더 열심히 먹는것 같아욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
이탈리아 베니스에서 가장 충격적이었던 것은 인삼커피가 이탈리아에 있다는 것이었음. Jinseng 이 이탈리아어에 있는 단어인가 찾아 봤더니 내가 아는 그 진셍, 인삼이었음. 로마의 피우미치노 공항에도 있다는데 정작 한국에는 없는 메뉴고 인삼으로 가장 유명한 금산에 사는데 이 동네 인삼커피는 망한 메뉴인데 이탈리아 사람들이 인삼커피는 좀 더 똑똑하게 잘 만들었음.
Ginseng x Shandy = greatest
We used to drink these 50/50 ginseng/guarana tablets when we partied hard as young ones.. would get you right back and active even after a long night of going crazy.
Ginseng, 진생이라는 말이 애초에 인삼에서부터 유래된 거랍니다. 옛날 고려 인삼이 무척 유명해서 여기저기 많은 나라로 수출되었어요. 그러면서 "인삼"이 "진생"이라고 변형되어 알려진 거죠.
"A ginseng a day, keeps the doctor away" Is there a Korean saying like this? Hahaa
The most famous function of the HongSam is the tuning of autonomic nerve system by the Saponin(;it is some kind of Alkaloid)
It can control the suitable excting level of the sympathetic & parasympathetic nerve system. So it will help your blood pressure to be in normal range. And your immune system works well.
So i can recommend you to take it for your health.
Ollie is giving
Evans: "THAT'S RDJ?!"
Hemsworth: "Since ☝🏽uh☝🏽 when"
I would love to see more of the cast bring in their foods or cultures and get Ollie and Josh's reactions!
꿀이 들어간건 '정과'나 '편강' 이라구 해요. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ. 과육같은걸 설당이나 물엿, 조청 같은것에 조려 보존성을 높이고 먹기 편한 같식 같은걸로 만드는 음식인데 홍삼이나 인삼같이 섬유질이 풍부하고 당류를 흡수시킬수 있는 약재로 만들기도 한답니다.
Jolly good day to you all from London
Hey Josh and Olly, it would be cool to see you guys do food reaction videos about Chinese food from different provinces
저는 홍삼보다 직접 인삼을 꿀에 절여먹는 것을 추천합니다. 효과가 훨씬 뛰어납니다
추위에 내성이 생기는거 같아요. 인삼을 꿀에 절여먹는것이 귀찮으면, 가을부터 인삼차에 꿀을 넣어서 먹는것도 도움 되더라구요.
인삼은 감기예방에 아주 뛰어납니다. 기력 회복에도 좋습니다.
Ginseng chicken! I loved it, and I wish I could go back to Korea to try it.
Multiple kinds of ginseng in one sitting. Any of you got nosebleed after that?
My favorite Korean actor, Lee Joongi loves hongsam so much, he's really packed with energy and look really young at the age of 40. He can easily play a role of 21 years old university student in his current drama, Again My Life because of his young look. Go get your hongsam everyone!
07:48 실제 멀미하는 분들중에 말린 홍삼을 이동중에 주기적으로 드시는 분도 있습니다.
oh I remember this meal when I was in Korea...burned my hand and a bit unique on how they put the rice in the chicken
섄디 영상 오랜만이에요 반가워요!!
In 9 months from now, there will four new babies in this world thanks to this video.
Oh I refreshed my feed at the perfect time :D
Ginseng is type of herb that is really healthy and rare which was very popular because it was hard to find and itself is a really good medicine.
Korea ginseng was reaallly popular to china and japan at past that It was worth the call.
Don’t alot of energy drinks have ginseng in them?
Thanks guys for the wonderful video as usual
monster energy has em but not a lot as you would expect in an energy drink hahahah
I've had a Korean ginseng flavored candy before. My friend's sister brought home some from her trip to Korea. I was sooooo excited to taste it because it's something foreign. So I peeled the wrap, put the candy on my mouth... throw it out after a second then proceed to writhe because to the taste. I can't even explain it. It's just so overpowering my mouth was like NOPE, BYE!
Lololol you got a Korean die hard laughing at it. Sooo understandable
인삼이 건강에 유명한 이유는 사포닌 성분때문이죠. 특히 홍삼으로 만드는이유는 사포닌을 최대한 출출가능하기 때문이에요..옛날 전통방식 홍삼제조는 9번찌고 말리고 작업을 반복하는데 요즘도 그렇게 하는지는 모르겠네요.
항상 재미잇게 보고잇읍니다 항상건강하시고 행복하시고 하시는일 잘되시길 기원합니다 찐팬입니다^^
"these items can be found on Amazon"
Then proceeds to blur out the labels 😂
I’ve gone genseng hunting in my state (Indiana) and people pay a lot for them tho they are somewhat hard to find it’s like hunting for morels but a little harder.
great vid as always
Wow after a while I almost felt like I could taste the Hongsam, since I've had it before.
I started off a bit concerned about their tongues because they would have so much of the overpowering flavor of ginseng one after the other, but I think they did well not to have extract and alcohol in the same video haha
