About Licorice twists
Licorice Twists are chewy, rope-shaped candies commonly flavored with licorice root extract, though many modern versions feature fruit or artificial flavors. Originating in Europe, licorice candies have a long history tied to the medicinal use of licorice root, which is prized for its natural sweetness and soothing properties. However, most Licorice Twists today are made with wheat flour, corn syrup, sugar, and flavorings, making them less about their herbal origins and more about being a sugary treat. They are low in fat but high in sugar, offering quick energy but little nutritional value. Some traditional varieties may contain real licorice root, which has potential health benefits like aiding digestion and throat discomfort in small amounts, but excessive consumption can affect blood pressure. While Licorice Twists can be an enjoyable snack, they should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
