Kosbee Korean Bellflower Root is mountain-grown doraji (도라지, Platycodon grandiflorus) from Korea — cleaned, peeled, and pre-sliced, then naturally dried without bleaching, so you get a clean, earthy root ready to simmer into tea or cook into a Korean side dish. Doraji has a deep, earthy aroma and a distinctive bittersweet, ginseng-like taste. Because it's mountain-grown (산도라지), that flavor is especially robust and fragrant. Each resealable pouch holds 4.2 oz (120 g). In Korea, doraji is more than a root vegetable — it's the warm tea a mother simmers when the cold wind blows, and a familiar namul on the holiday table. Kosbee selects mountain-grown Korean doraji and dries it naturally, with no bleaching, for a deep, honest, earthy aroma.

How to Use Korean Bellflower Root For tea, simmer about 20 g of slices in 1 to 1.5 quarts (1 to 1.5 liters) of water on low heat for 30 to 40 minutes. Doraji is naturally bitter, so simmering it with Korean pear, jujube, or honey rounds it into a smoother, sweeter cup. For the classic Korean side dish (doraji namul), soak the slices until tender, rub them with coarse salt and rinse to ease the bitterness, then stir-fry with sesame oil and soy sauce or toss in a sweet-spicy gochujang dressing. Store away from moisture and direct sunlight, and reseal the pouch tightly after each use.
