Dried Codonopsis Root – or Dang Shen – is the kind of herb that many households keep stocked for the long run. With its light earthy flavour and reputation as a balancing root, it finds its way into teas, tonics, and soups that simmer for hours. This larger 500g pack is a practical choice for families, regular tea drinkers, or anyone who loves experimenting with traditional recipes in bulk.
Codonopsis root has traditionally been linked with steady energy, digestive comfort, and general nourishment. Families often relied on it as a gentler herb, something that could be used often without being overwhelming. Its ability to fit into both food and tea made it a versatile staple.

Dang Shen has been part of Chinese kitchens and herbal traditions for generations. It was never just about taste – though its flavour is quietly pleasant – but about its place in meals and family routines. Some saw it as a daily tonic, others as a way to round out nourishing soups, and many appreciated how it complemented stronger herbs in traditional blends.
If you enjoy herbal teas regularly, the 500g pouch makes it easy to brew larger amounts. A handful of slices simmered for 20 minutes produces a light, grounding drink. Some keep it plain, while others mix it with ginger, jujube, or goji berries for a more layered taste.
In the kitchen, Codonopsis Root shines in broths and slow-cooked stews. A few pieces dropped into chicken soup or vegetable stock create a richer, more rounded flavour. Families who cook in bulk often add it to big pots that can be shared across several meals.
At Vita Herbal Nutrition, we believe in keeping things natural. Our Codonopsis Root is never treated with sulphur, so what you get is the herb as it should be. We source directly from DaoDi regions, where the soil and climate produce roots of genuine quality. Our partnerships go back to 2010, built on trust, care, and respect for tradition.
This size is ideal for those who use Dang Shen regularly. It offers better value than smaller packs and ensures you won’t run out midway through a batch of soup or tea. For families or keen herbal enthusiasts, it’s the most practical choice.
