Will stainless steel react to herbs especially Chinese herbs like ginseng?

Stainless steel is generally resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions, making it a safe choice for handling herbs, including Chinese herbs like ginseng. However, prolonged contact with highly acidic or alkaline substances may lead to minor reactions over time. For most practical purposes, stainless steel should not significantly react with ginseng or other herbs. It is always a good idea to use food-grade materials to ensure the best quality and safety.
