Korean Ginseng Sells for $120,000 at Auction

I wonder if knee surgery would have been cheaper than this:

A family hoping to cure their mother’s weak knees bid nearly $120,000 at an auction for a set of wild ginseng roots that included specimens 110 years old.

The package of six roots sold for 125 million won ($119,400), Yonhap news agency reported Sunday, citing the Korea Wild Ginseng Appraisal Association. An entrepreneur and his brothers placed the winning bid to help cure their mother’s ailing knees.

Ginseng is highly valued in Korea for its potent healing benefits.

To insure continued value, be sure to keep the manroot firm and unblemished through proper storage.

While a manroot can frequently maintain its firmness even without frequent care and attention, providing an attractive container for temporary storage will help.

In many cases, a suitable container need only be in close proximity rather than in constant use. In fact, it is frequently noticed that after storage, the manroot may emit fluid and lose its firm texture.

There is little need to worry, as this condition is only temporary. Simply remove the manroot and keep it near the container. Depending on age and environment, it can return to its previous state in minutes to hours.

If this does not happen, consider replacing the container with something thinner, more attractive, more quiet, or offering a tighter fit.

To be clear, I have been caring for a single manroot for a number of years and have absolutely no experience with other manroots. But my advice likely applies to the majority of them.

Good luck, ladies, and if you can provide a clean and attractive container, you are welcome to temporary borrow my manroot to learn some new care and storage techniques.

Next time, I will write about the proper ways of consuming manroot.
