I recently ordered some Indian ginseng.  I haven't tried it.  How is Asian ginseng different from US ginseng?

 

 

American ginseng is Panax quinquefolius but, although the chemical composition is different from Asian ginseng in some ways neither have been proved scientifically to have any medical benefit. 

 

They both taste of nothing so no culinary benefit or difference, either.

 

American ginseng is imported to China and is expensive. I know nothing about Indian ginseng.
