Red liquorice is a sweet, chewy candy known for its vibrant color and fruity flavor, often resembling strawberry or cherry. Originating from Western confectionery traditions, this treat is distinct from black licorice, which contains the extract of the licorice root; red varieties typically rely on artificial flavoring and coloring. Key ingredients include flour or starch, sugar, corn syrup, and various flavorings. While it is fat-free, red liquorice is high in sugar and carbohydrates, making it a quick energy source but not ideal for those watching their sugar intake. It does not generally offer significant vitamins or minerals. Some versions may include food dyes that could be a concern for sensitive individuals. Enjoyed in moderation, red liquorice can be a fun treat, but it’s best paired with a balanced diet to offset its sugary nature.
