Licorice wheels are chewy, spiral-shaped candies made primarily from wheat flour, sugar, and licorice root extract, which gives them their distinct anise-like flavor. Popular in European confections, particularly in countries like the Netherlands and Scandinavia, licorice has long been enjoyed for its unique taste and texture. Some versions may also include molasses, glucose syrup, and natural or artificial flavorings. While licorice root itself contains compounds like glycyrrhizin, which may have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, commercial licorice candies typically contain minimal amounts of the extract. Instead, they are often high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, making them a treat best consumed in moderation. Licorice wheels come in various colors, with black being traditional, though fruit-flavored varieties in vibrant shades are also widely available. Their playful shape and fun-to-eat design make them a nostalgic favorite despite their limited nutritional benefits.
