About Lakritsi
Lakritsi, or Finnish-style licorice, is a popular treat originating from Finland, known for its bold, slightly salty flavor. Traditionally made using licorice root extract, wheat flour, molasses, and ammonium chloride (salmiakki), its dense texture and distinctive taste set it apart from sweeter licorice varieties. While licorice root contains compounds like glycyrrhizin, which may offer anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, excessive consumption can pose health risks such as elevated blood pressure or potassium imbalances. Salty licorice, a unique variation, has a higher salmiakki content, appealing to those with adventurous palates. Lakritsi is typically enjoyed in moderation as a confection, but fans also use it in baking or as a flavoring for savory dishes. It has become a cultural staple in Nordic countries, celebrated particularly for its intense, acquired taste that resonates with licorice enthusiasts worldwide.
