The present invention provides a method for producing red ginseng. Wild ginseng is washed by sea water and dipped in sea water. Mineral components contained in the sea water are penetrated therein. Decatizing, fermenting, and drying are sequentially treated. To this end, the method comprises the following steps: washing foreign material adhered on surface of the wild ginseng by clean sea water, dipping the same in sea water for 12-24 hours, and penetrating mineral components contained in sea water in the wild ginseng; decatizing the wild ginseng having the mineral components of sea water penetrated therein by steam of 94-100°C for 2-4 hours, and drying ginseng obtained by gelating starch components of the wild ginseng to have a water content rate of 55-65 wt% at room temperatures; and spreading dry rice straw and dry grass on a bottom of a fermenting device (fermenting chamber), putting the ginseng dried to have the water content rate of 55-60 wt% thereon, re-covering dry rice straw and dry grass thereon, covering a quilt or a non-woven fabric thereon to keep warmth in a fermenting device or a basket in which air can be circulated, spreading dry rice straw or dry grass on a bottom of the fermenting device of bask, putting the ginseng dried to have a water content of 55-60 wt%, re-feeding the same to the fermenting device with kept warmth, and producing a red ginseng product by drying ginseng fermented for 16-30 hours, while heating to make a temperature of 40-70°C and maintaining a humidity at 70-95%, to have a water content of 8-14 wt%. |
