    Licorice Root Natural Cut

    Glycyrrhiza glabra

    Form: Cut

    Product description

    Licorice, or Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a remarkable flowering plant from the Fabaceae family . Known for its sweet, aromatic flavour, licorice root has been treasured for centuries as a natural remedy and flavouring agent.

    Originating in ancient Egypt, where it was brewed into a health-boosting tea and even found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, licorice made its way to China and became a staple in traditional Chinese herbal remedies.

    Licorice natural root has several uses:

    Licorice root is most known for its sweet, aromatic flavour, making it a star ingredient in the food and beverage industry. Traditionally used in gin production, its anise-like sweetness has long been a favourite for adding depth and character. Modern gin producers still turn to licorice root for its distinctive flavour and colour. Even after distillation, the flavour remains uniquely woody.

    In the culinary world, licorice root adds a unique twist to both sweet and savoury dishes. Its rich, sweet profile can enhance desserts, sauces, and marinades, making it a versatile addition to gourmet kitchens.

    Beyond its culinary delights, licorice root is also found in many natural remedies. It’s often used to help soothe gastrointestinal discomfort, with the glycyrrhizic acid thought to support the repair of the stomach lining and maintain a healthy balance.

    Licorice root also finds a place in beauty and personal care products. Its antioxidant properties are believed to help calm and soothe inflammatory skin conditions. Blending licorice root into topical lotions and creams can provide potential relief for issues like eczema, sunburn, and redness.
