TOPIC: Where do you sell the tops?

Hello to this forum-

I'm a newbie here, and am interested in getting to know the folks. Many thanks to the members of the forum for the wealth of information that is posted here!

I've got a question....I understand that the tops of the plants are also saleable as ingredients to sodas.

Are the buyers of the leaves and stems as readiuly available as the buyers of roots?

From my experience they aren't Whitjr

When I was researching the usage I read that the stems and leaves could be used for the soda and gensing gums that are out there in the holistic shops. [I'm wishing that I could remember exactly where I read this].

Do you know if the Holistic shop's products use anything other than roots?

Many thanks....

Whitjr,
I know the plant tops contain the same active ingredients as the Roots. However I am not so sure about how much. I make a tea with the leaves for personal use. I have seen leaves piled up at a ginseng dealers sales room back in the late 70's. Go ahead and search Plant Tops on this site as I had brought this topic up a while back. There are a few additional responses to my question that may be of interest to your question.
Thanks,
Latt
