About Licorice sticks
Licorice sticks are chewy, sweet treats made from licorice root extract, often combined with flour, sugar, and flavorings. Originating from European cuisine, licorice has been appreciated for centuries, not only for its distinctive taste but also for its potential health benefits. The licorice root contains glycyrrhizin, a compound known for its soothing properties that may help with digestive issues and throat discomfort. However, most modern licorice candies contain high amounts of added sugar and artificial flavorings, reducing their nutritional value. Some variations also use minimal licorice extract and rely on anise for flavor. While small portions of traditional licorice might offer some benefits, excessive consumption can lead to elevated blood pressure or sodium retention due to glycyrrhizin. Always check labels for ingredients and enjoy licorice sticks in moderation as a part of a balanced diet.
