Beetle Invasion

My mum brewed chicken soup today. So I wanted to add an extra ommph in it ,went to find ginseng. When I found the wooden box, it had powder on the surface and I began to suspect something. When I opened it, even worst, full of powder. The ginseng, around 20 roots were infested by beetles. They fed on the ginseng leaving the core behind. The insides were hollow. Such a waste I only eaten 3 roots after we bought it last year. Luckily its only Korean Ginseng, imagine if it were to be thousand year ginseng the beetles would all become immortals. Maybe we are not fated to have such delicacys.
