i read everything you said on various sites including yours and nothing about taking the shell of the seeds off was mentioned in anything. My time spent on this p***es me off more then the money but I can thank the crook for learning a little more about ginseng. I don't understand why they would take the time to take the shells off of the seeds if that is really what happened and what they sent me. I called Amazon today and they opened a case and within 7 days I'll get a refund which is more time I just waste on this worthless human. They said they would investigate and shut him down if anything like this turns up again.

Now I'm more confused. I was only aware of the stratification of ginsing seeds to get them to sprout like many other seeds. I know with citrus trees they have a hard outer shell when removed sprouts more quick. I believe they are saying they took the outer layer off the ginseng seed

another email here it is:

"I have some pictures. In the picture fresh fruit of American ginseng, we can see the original shape of fresh fruit of American ginseng. But it can't be plant because embryo is not ripe. Only through the fruit ripening, it can be plant. To keep for longer time, the planters air drying and decorticate the seeds. And the shape become white and big in the picture "American ginseng". Then, in the "pure seed", you can see the seeds you received. They are the pure seed. The planters decorticate the white shell. So there is really no mistake now."

And pics they sent.

Yea Ima give them a call today after work because I assured he seller they were not becauseAmerican ginseng because I had them checked by a dealer/ planted. Then I got emailed back saying they are American ginsing but they will show the pics to their planters and if they are not they will give me a refund. Which they cannot refund the time I spent screwing around with this.

Thanks for the help. I know where to turn for help now and where to buy seeds

The first thing I did was try to cut into one and they did cut in half. I bought them off of Amazon. seller is andradite.  I haven't had a problem with seeds from Amazon sellers before. The seller emailed me back after I told them
I was having the seeds checked. Here is what they said "
Hello
Thank you for your pictures. I also searched on the web for some hours and contact the planters. In fact, there are so many shapes. Big or small and different color, white, brown, black even red. I'm also waiting for the planters' answer.
Have a good day!"

I'm not a expert on any plants but im lost for words now lol

These seeds were bought from a online vendor and they look a little small and different to be ginseng so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they are or not. Thanks
