About Black licorice
Black licorice is a confectionery known for its bold, bittersweet flavor, derived from the root of the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra). Commonly associated with European cuisine, especially Scandinavian and Dutch traditions, it's made by combining licorice extract, sugar, binding agents like flour or gelatin, and often anise seed for added flavor depth. While appreciated for its unique taste, licorice contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that may provide anti-inflammatory and antiviral benefits. However, excessive consumption can lead to health risks, such as elevated blood pressure, reduced potassium levels, and potential heart complications. Black licorice is free of fat but often high in sugar, making it less ideal for regular snacking. Moderation is key to enjoying its complex flavor while minimizing potential drawbacks. Look for varieties with reduced glycyrrhizin content if you're concerned about its health effects.
