About Licorice
Licorice, derived from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, is a sweet and aromatic ingredient commonly used in confectionery, herbal teas, and traditional medicine. With origins traced to the Mediterranean and Asia, licorice has long been valued for its distinctive flavor and potential health benefits. The root contains glycyrrhizin, a compound responsible for its intense sweetness and its observed anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Licorice has been used historically to soothe sore throats, aid digestion, and support respiratory health. However, excessive consumption may lead to health risks, including elevated blood pressure and potassium deficiency due to glycyrrhizin’s impact on the body. Modern licorice candies often contain added sugars, artificial colors, or flavored substitutes, which diminish its nutritional profile. Pure licorice is best enjoyed in moderation and can be a beneficial ingredient when paired with a balanced diet and proper guidance.
