100% ORGANIC

Licorice sticks have uses as both a culinary flavoring and an herbal remedy, with potential benefits for skin, digestion, and respiratory issues. They can be used for flavoring by steeping in liquids, used as a chewing stick, or incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes. Medicinally, licorice root has been used for conditions like indigestion and eczema, and its antibacterial properties may help with canker sores and oral health.  

Culinary uses

  • Steeping: 

    Infuse licorice sticks in hot liquids like milk, cream, tea, or syrups for a distinct flavor. 

  • Chewing: 

    Chew on the end of the stick to release its flavor, similar to a traditional method for fresh breath. 

  • Savory dishes: 

    Use them to marinate meats or seafood for a touch of sweetness and depth, especially when combined with ingredients like lime or soy sauce. 

  • Sweet dishes: 

    Incorporate into desserts to complement flavors like vanilla, honey, caramel, or coconut. 

Medicinal and other uses

  • Digestive health: 

    Licorice root may help relieve symptoms of acid reflux and indigestion. It may also help treat peptic ulcers by increasing protective mucus in the stomach. 

  • Skin conditions: 

    Licorice root extract is used in skincare for its potential to reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with conditions like eczema. 

  • Sore throat: 

    Some evidence suggests that licorice may help soothe a sore throat and prevent cough after a breathing tube is removed. 

  • Oral health: 

    The antibacterial properties of licorice may help prevent tooth decay and treat canker sores.

Liquorice (Commonwealth English) or licorice (American English; see spelling differences; IPA: /ˈlɪkərɪʃ, -ɪs/ LIK-ər-ish, -⁠iss)[6][7] is the common name of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a flowering plant of the bean family Fabaceae, from the root of which a sweet, aromatic flavouring is extracted.[8]

The liquorice plant is an herbaceous perennial legume native to West Asia, North Africa, and Southern Europe.[2] Liquorice is used as a flavouring in confectionery, tobacco, beverages, and pharmaceuticals, and is marketed as a dietary supplement.[8][9]

Liquorice extracts have been used in herbalism and traditional medicine.[8] Excessive consumption of liquorice (more than 2 mg/kg [0.91 mg/lb] per day of pure glycyrrhizinic acid, a key component of liquorice) can lead to undesirable consequences. Clinically, it is suspected that overindulgence in liquorice may manifest as unexplained hypertension, low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia), and muscle weakness in individuals.[8][9][10] Consuming liquorice root extract should be avoided during pregnancy.[8][9][10]
