Wild Crafted Licorice Root Dried Cut ~ 100% Premium
Botanical Name: Glycyrrhiza Glabra
Licorice, also known as European licorice and common licorice, is an herb and spice produced from the underground rhizome of a plant in the legume family. The herb’s genus name comes from the Greek words glykys and rhiza, which respectively mean “sweet” and “root.” The combination also inspired the name for the primary constituent of licorice—glycyrrhizin.
The sweet flavor of licorice root has been enjoyed for centuries throughout Europe and the Mediterranean region, starting with the ancient Romans and Egyptians. In fact, there is recorded evidence that Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great consumed copious amounts of licorice and an abundant supply was discovered in King Tut’s tomb.
Spicy and pungent with a sweet finish. Goes well with dark fruits, chocolate, ginger, coffee beans and vanilla.
