ABOUIT LICORICE

Even though licorice is enjoyed today mainly for its delicious taste, for thousands of years it has been believed to hold mystic, healing powers. People have used licorice to ward off evil spirits and as a remedy for stomach complaints, coughs and chest infections.

Napoleon is said to have loved licorice and used it to calm his nerves before a battle. Tutankhamun could rest in peace in his burial chamber because he was accompanied

by a jar of licorice.

 

The licorice flavour comes from underneath the ground

 

Licorice comes from the root of the blue flowering pea plant which is found growing wild all over Southern Europe and Asia . The plant´s botanical name is glycyrrhiza glabra, which means sweet root.
