Ginseng root

Ginseng root is a consumable item in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
A dark brown root harvested from a ginseng plant. It can be consumed raw to satisfy a small amount of hunger with a medium dose of radiation and chance for disease or can be cooked for additional benefits.

When affected by a blast zone, it will turn into nuka root, which will yield raw violet flux when harvested.

Locations

 * Several can be found in the gardening store at the Whitespring Resort.
 * Four can be found on the Dabney homestead property.
 * Two can be found in an unmarked house northeast of Camp Venture (roughly halfway between Camp Venture and KMAX Transmission; there are three unmarked houses clustered together).
 * One in the house across the road from the previously unmarked house northeast of Camp Venture.
 * One can be found near the eastern wall of Ingram Mansion.
 * One can be found in a planter in the damaged house at Delano grange.

Behind the scenes
The ginseng root is a mutated form of the real-world plant Panax ginseng (Asian ginseng), which, unlike its Fallout 76 counterpart, is not native to West Virginia.
