Liquorice Root

My Liquorice root sticks, Glycyrrhiza Glabra, are the real deal. Exceptional quality and tasty liquorice root from the Fertile Crescent. The Liquorice plant Glycyrrhiza Glabra is a leafy shrub grown for its lengthy roots, which have an extended history over millennia of healing properties and a deliciously distinctive sweet taste.

How to use it

The simplest way to make something with your root is to pop the stick in your mouth. Don’t try and eat it :0 allow it to soften as you gently suck it. The end of the stick in your mouth will soften and become juicy with a sweet taste. You can also make a drink by merely popping a root in a mug of hot water, you might want to shave off some of the bark first, but you don’t have to. Check out our Yogi Tea Recipe made with these root sticks and the blog- the liquorice family– on how I started selling liquorice.
