Did you know?
- Liquorice root has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and sore throat-soothing properties.
- Real liquorice contains glycyrrhizin, which can raise blood pressure and lower potassium levels if eaten in large quantities.
- Many modern candies labeled “liquorice” use anise oil for flavor instead of real liquorice extract.
- In Nordic countries, salty liquorice (“salmiak”) is extremely popular and often flavored with ammonium chloride.
Drawbacks ⚠️
- • High sugar content increases risk of tooth decay and blood sugar spikes.
- Glycyrrhizin, if consumed excessively, can lead to hypertension, headaches, and electrolyte imbalances.
- Low in nutrients, offering little beyond taste and calories.
- Some versions may contain gelatin, making them non-vegetarian.
