Licorice Root
- India
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.
