About Black liquorice
Black liquorice is a distinctive confectionery made primarily from liquorice root extract, flour, sugar, and molasses, often enhanced with aniseed for added flavor. Originating from Europe and popular in Nordic, Dutch, and British cuisine, its bold taste makes it a unique treat globally. Historically, liquorice root has been valued for its potential medicinal properties, including soothing digestive issues and relieving sore throats. However, commercial black liquorice often contains significant amounts of sugar and additives, making it less suitable for regular consumption. Additionally, glycyrrhizin, a compound in liquorice root, can cause adverse effects like high blood pressure and low potassium levels if consumed excessively. Moderation is key to enjoying this sweet responsibly while appreciating its rich cultural and culinary heritage.
