Wild Crafted Licorice Root Powder ~ 100% Premium
Botanical name: Glycyrrhiza Glabra
Licorice is a perennial member of the legume family valued for its spicy aroma and flavor, as well as for its soothing effects on the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract. In China, the root of the plant is used in cooking and to counter food poisoning. In the west, the herb is used as a filler and to mask the unpleasant taste of other medicines.
This species of licorice is native to southern and eastern Europe where the herb has been used to address respiratory and digestive issues for thousands of years. By the 13th century, so much licorice was being imported into England from other parts of Europe that King Edward the First imposed a tax on incoming shipments to fund needed repairs to London Bridge.
Intensely sweet with an anise or fennel flavor. Blends well with ginger, lemongrass, cinnamon, cardamom and other warm spices.
