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.
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
@@donovanwick9278 Not just Koreans. Japanese, and Chinese too. Well actually most people these days are understanding that how you eat determines how healthy you'll be.
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
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.
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.
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.
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>
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 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
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!
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
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.
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. 😅
Ginseng and red ginseng are the health foods that Koreans have liked for a long time ago. You can buy 5-6 years old Korean ginseng, boil it, and drink it like tea. Red ginseng is mostly eaten as a concentrate. If an adverse reaction occurs, stop taking it and avoid products made in China.
This is a straight up 8-min paid advertisement haha undoubtably the benefits were worth it. Funny how easy it is to catch acted reactions. Anyway nice to see Shandy back!
there's a small part of me that will be worried about their bodies getting 'heaty' (Chinese medicinal term, it's not a dirty word 😅) after ingesting so much ginseng 😅 but glad to know they enjoyed it!
isn't that what the witch used in the "Merlin" series, the one that can control someone something you know,... HAHAHHAHAHHA it's called mandrake root something
How are you posting such an amazing video when you're in Coachella where there is no Ginseng? You will definitely need some Ginseng to recover from Coachella though...
@@lilibreeze it was really good, they had multiple versions. I decided to go for the local version and it turned out to be the simplest one, which I hoped for :)
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.
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).
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
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.
Fun fact, in Cantonese, the word for 'ginseng' sounds exactly the same as 'human heart'. As a child (before I ever tried it), I used to think ginseng has so many health benefits (and can be so expensive) because its literally human heart 😂
I was confused too when I was young 😂 I thought that was what the human heart looked & tasted like & I was disappointed, I thought human hearts were supposed to be sweet 😂
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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. 😄
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.)
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
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.
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
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.
