Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), sometimes called “sweet root”, is a perennial legume native to Europe and Asia. Its fibrous, woody roots contain natural compounds that give it a sweetness far stronger than cane sugar, making it a popular flavoring herb for teas, candies, and traditional recipes.

These cut and sifted licorice root pieces are easy to use in herbal tea blends, homemade syrups, tinctures, and culinary infusions. With a naturally sweet and earthy taste, licorice root pairs beautifully with herbs such as ginger, cinnamon, and angelica root for flavorful blends.

Licorice root has been valued worldwide for centuries — in both culinary traditions and natural apothecaries — where it is often blended with other herbs for its balancing sweetness.

Ingredients: Organic Licorice Root

Are all of your ingredients organic?

We love providing herbs that are fresh, pure, and of the highest quality. Whenever possible, we source from small family farms that grow with care for the land. Some of our partners are USDA-certified organic, while others practice organic methods but choose not to certify due to the cost.

Because our own facility is not USDA-certified, we don’t label our finished products as “organic.” Instead, you’ll see “organic” noted in the ingredient lists when that particular ingredient was grown on a certified organic farm. We want to stay transparent while still offering you the cleanest, most responsibly grown ingredients we can find.

We’re grateful to support local growers, and we believe that when ingredients are raised with integrity, you can taste and feel the difference in every cup.

Herbs are legally sold by the ounce but often we get asked how many cups are in a bag.

This herb has an approximate average of 4 cups per pound.

Licorice root can be:

  • Steeped in teas on its own or in blends
  • Simmered into syrups for drinks or herbal recipes
  • Added to candies or baked goods for sweet, earthy notes
  • Incorporated into tinctures and extracts

Store in an airtight container away from temperature extremes and sunlight.
