100% Korea-Grown, Balloon Flower Roots

[Kanggae Sangin] Korean Balloon Flower Extract (120g)

Today, we offer Korean Balloon Flower Root in extract form - made from nothing else than 100% Korea-Grown Balloon Flower Root.

Balloon Flower Roots (known as 'Doraji') is popular in Korea for its medicinal properties. It’s served frequently as a banchan (doraji muchim) or as a topping for traditional bibimbap.

To make this extract, the flowers' roots are slowly soaked, boiled and pressed over days to produce a thick, powerful extract.

Doraji contains saponins - organic molecules found in certain plants that help to protect the human body against cancers and to lower cholesterol levels.

Studies have shown that saponins are particularly effective in decreasing blood lipids, lowering cancer risks and lowering blood glucose response (among other health benefits).

However - to see health benefits - one would need to eat these root regularly.

That's not easy - as it’s not readily accessible outside of Korea. Plus, peeling the roots and soaking them in water is very time-consuming.

That’s why in Korea, it's made in extract form - quick consumption that can fit into any lifestyle.

What does it taste like?

Contrary to appearance, Balloon Flower Roots do not taste as bitter and astringent as other medicinal herbs like ginseng. It has a milder taste.

Note: You can take this extract straight (without water). But if the taste is too strong for your palate, mix it with hot water and sip as a tea.

How frequently can I take it?

Consume daily (up to 3 servings per day).

Take 1g per serving (wooden spoon included - measures to 1g)

Eat straight or mix with hot water as tea.
