About Licorice stick

Licorice sticks are a chewy, sweet treat made from licorice root extract, sugar, and a binding agent like flour or gelatin. Originally derived from the licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra), this confection has roots in ancient civilizations where it was used for both flavoring and medicinal purposes. Licorice candies are popular in many European cuisines, especially in Scandinavian and Dutch traditions, where salty variations are also common. While licorice root itself contains glycyrrhizin, known for its potential anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, the high sugar content in most licorice candies offsets any health benefits. Excessive consumption can also lead to side effects like high blood pressure if glycyrrhizin levels are too concentrated. Opt for low-sugar or deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) options if you're seeking a healthier alternative. Always enjoy licorice in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
