Licorice Root is a tasty addition to sweeten any food or beverage, delivering 30-50x more sweetness than pure sugar. The very sweet flavor offers a familiar taste that is recognized in many foods and beverages across the globe.
Whether it's used in a drink or in a prepared food, it's a delightful balance of sweet and spice. Licorice root has an aroma that is similar to sassafras, star anise, fennel, and tarragon. Its sweetness is a perfect flavoring agent and aroma, and makes a great addition to cookies, fruit juices, syrups, cosmetics, and more. Licorice root also makes a simple, healthy, and caffeine free tea that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
