About Lakritz
Lakritz, commonly known as licorice, is a confection made from the root extract of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, combined with other ingredients like sugar, flour, or gelatin. Originating from ancient herbal medicine practices in regions including Southern Europe and Asia, licorice has evolved into a beloved treat, particularly in Nordic and European cuisines. Traditional black licorice contains compounds like glycyrrhizin, which contributes to its distinct sweet, slightly bitter taste, but excessive consumption can lead to health concerns such as raised blood pressure. Modern varieties often substitute glycyrrhizin with anise flavoring. Licorice root itself has been valued for its anti-inflammatory and soothing effects on respiratory and digestive health, but these benefits don't extend to processed licorice candies due to added sugars and artificial ingredients. While enjoyable as an occasional treat, moderation is key to avoiding potential health risks associated with its overconsumption.
