The method of the present invention repeats the above-described steps 1 to 10 times to increase the content of ginsenoside which is an effective ingredient. The present invention also relates to a method for producing the ginseng extract for use in the above-described method for producing black ginseng. The present invention significantly increases the content of ginsenoside having Rg2, Rh1, Rg3, and Rh2 as main ingredients, without using a pressurizer having a temperature of 100°C or higher and high pressure higher than an atmospheric pressure. |
