Start with the size that fits your routine
Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Roots come in several sizes and cuts, and the right choice depends on how you plan to use them. If you are new to ginseng, a smaller 3oz bag lets you test the flavor before committing to a larger purchase. If you regularly brew tea or make soups, a 4oz or 6oz bag offers more root for your money.
The roots are 100% pure top-grade American Wisconsin ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), grown in Wisconsin's mineral-rich soil. The actual number and sizes of roots can vary from the pictures, so think of the weight as your reliable guide.
What the labels confirm
- Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Roots in bulk, 4oz: Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Roots in bulk, 4oz (114g) A 4oz bag is a solid middle ground for regular tea drinkers or those who want to try ginseng in soups without committing to the largest size.
Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Roots in bulk, 4oz - Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Medium Roots, 6oz: Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Medium Roots, 6oz (170g) The 6oz bag offers the most root by weight, making it a practical choice for frequent brewing or for sharing with family.
Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Medium Roots, 6oz - Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Medium Round Roots, 3oz: Prince of Peace Wisconsin American Ginseng Medium Round Roots, 3oz (85g) A 3oz bag is ideal for first-time buyers or occasional use; the medium round cut is convenient for even slicing.

How to brew ginseng tea and make soup
The supplied brewing instructions are straightforward: slice about 1.8g of ginseng roots and steep with 8 fl. oz of boiling water for 3–5 minutes. That ratio works regardless of which bag size you choose, so you can adjust the number of servings based on the weight you have.
You can also use the roots to make soups. Add a few slices to your broth during cooking; the roots soften and release their flavor. The exact amount depends on your recipe, so start with a small piece and adjust to taste.
3oz vs 4oz vs 6oz: practical trade-offs
Choosing between the sizes is mostly about how often you plan to use ginseng and whether you want a compact option for travel or gifting.
- 3oz bags (Medium Round or Medium Short): Best for trying ginseng for the first time or for occasional tea. Lighter and more affordable, but you will run out faster if you brew daily.
- 4oz bulk bag: A balanced option for regular tea drinkers. Offers more root than the 3oz without the larger commitment of the 6oz bag.
- 6oz Medium Roots bag: The most economical per ounce if you use ginseng frequently. Good for families or for making soups in larger batches.
Gift-giving and travel considerations
American ginseng is a popular gift, especially among visitors to the U.S. looking for a meaningful present. Prince of Peace is a well-known brand, and the roots come in resealable bags that travel well. If you are buying as a gift, consider whether the recipient is new to ginseng—a 3oz bag is a thoughtful introduction—or already a regular user, in which case a 4oz or 6oz bag may be more appreciated.
What the supplied information does not settle
The product records do not specify the exact number of roots per bag or the precise dimensions of each root. The pictures are for reference only, so expect some natural variation in size and shape. This is typical for whole-root products and does not affect the brewing instructions.
Also, the records do not include detailed storage guidance. For any specific storage recommendations, refer to the packaging or consult the manufacturer.
