RemarksThere are two kinds of Hongshen. One is steamed and dried Hongshen which fine roots have not been removed (Japanese Hongshen). The other is dried and pressed Hongshen without fine roots (North Korean and Korean Hongshen). In China, the processed Hongshen with relatively long branching roots is called "Biantiao Hongshen" and the one without fine roots is called "Hongshenxu".
