About Liquorice
Liquorice is a chewy, sweet treat derived from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, native to Southern Europe and parts of Asia. Known for its distinct anise-like flavor, it is used in both confectionery and herbal remedies. Traditional versions contain glycyrrhizin, a compound responsible for its sweetness and potential health benefits, such as soothing the digestive system and supporting respiratory health. However, excessive consumption of glycyrrhizin-containing liquorice can cause imbalances in potassium levels and raise blood pressure. Modern varieties often replace glycyrrhizin with anise or artificial flavoring, offering a similar taste without the associated risks. While liquorice is enjoyed globally, especially in European and Middle Eastern cuisines, it should be eaten in moderation, particularly by individuals with pre-existing heart or kidney conditions. Low- or sugar-free versions are also available for those mindful of sugar intake.
