About Australian red licorice

Australian Red Licorice is a chewy, sweet treat originating from Australia, crafted primarily from wheat flour, sugar, corn syrup, and natural or artificial strawberry flavoring. Its vibrant red color often comes from food coloring, and the candy is typically shaped into slender ropes or sticks. While this licorice is devoid of the traditional licorice root extract found in black licorice, it delivers a fruity and mildly tangy taste that appeals to candy lovers worldwide. Nutritionally, Australian Red Licorice is high in carbohydrates due to its sugar content and provides quick energy. However, its low fiber and protein content, combined with added sugars, make it a less healthy option when consumed in large amounts. It contains little to no fat, but mindful moderation is essential, as excessive consumption can contribute to calorie imbalances. Enjoy it as an occasional indulgence, keeping portion sizes in check.
