    Product description

    Licorice is a revered plant native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia, celebrated for its distinct flavour and beneficial properties. Throughout history, licorice root has been valued for its sweet taste, which is 50 times sweeter than sugar, and its therapeutic uses in traditional medicine. With over 300 chemical compounds and flavonoids, licorice is full of natural benefits.

    Licorice is native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia although it is cultivated worldwide. The Licorice Root has a dark reddish brown, wrinkled appearance and internally it is yellowish and fibrous. It contains triterpenes, coumarins, polysaccharides and volatile oil as well as flavonoids.

    Licorice Root is also sold in several forms: sticks, cut, cut fine, shredded and powder.

    Licorice root natural sticks have several uses:

    Licorice root natural sticks are perfect for infusing both flavour and potential health benefits into a variety of applications.

    In the culinary world, licorice root sticks are prized for their sweet, aromatic flavour, reminiscent of aniseed and fennel. These sticks can be used to enhance the taste of teas, syrups, and cordials. Simply dissolve them in warm liquids to create delicious, comforting beverages. For a unique twist, stir them into blackcurrant juice or herbal teas to add a naturally sweet and rich flavour, making even the strongest herbal blends more enjoyable.

    Licorice root sticks are also an excellent ingredient for making traditional remedies. They are often used to create soothing drinks and syrups that are said to help ease digestive discomfort and support overall well-being. The glycyrrhizic acid in licorice is believed to aid in maintaining a healthy stomach lining and promoting balanced digestion. In traditional herbal medicine licorice has been used to treat ulcers and asthma and for its anti-inflammatory properties

    Beyond culinary uses, licorice root sticks find a place in the beauty and personal care industry. Their reported anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make them a valuable addition to skincare products.
