Lakritz Schnecke, or licorice snail, is a popular confection originating from Germany and Scandinavia. Made primarily from licorice root extract, wheat flour, sugar, and molasses, this chewy treat is shaped into a spiral resembling a snail shell. Its deep, aromatic flavor comes from glycyrrhizin, a natural compound found in licorice root, which contributes to its slightly sweet and herbal taste. While Lakritz Schnecke provides small amounts of antioxidants from the licorice extract, it is high in sugar and carbohydrates, making it best enjoyed in moderation. Some varieties may include ammonium chloride for a salty twist, common in northern European licorice products. Glycyrrhizin can impact blood pressure if consumed excessively, so individuals with certain health conditions should limit intake. Lakritz Schnecke offers a unique cultural flavor experience but is considered a treat rather than a nutritious snack.
