King Tut, Alexander the Great, Roman Emperor Caesar and now, you! Licorice root has been prized for its rich flavor and appreciated for its natural properties for over 3,000 years. In fact, the name "liquorice" or "licorice" is derived from the Old French licoresse and the Ancient Greek work glukurrhiza, meaning "sweet root." How sweet it is!

This perennial licorice root herb has reportedly been used for centuries in Eastern and Western medicine for peptic ulcers, sore throats and coughs. Lucky for everyone, it also makes delicious candy.

We're happy to carry on the age-old tradition of this powerful, historical, and enchanting confection.
