Qualities: Used most commonly as a flavoring or for medicinal use, licorice root is one of the most widely used herbs worldwide for respiratory and digestive support. It is taken to soothe a variety of ailments including heartburn, stomach ulcers, digestive discomfort, sore throat, and coughs. Licorice has a distinctive flavor and sweetness that comes from the glycyrrhizin that composes up to 25% of the root's makeup. It is often likened to the flavor of anise and fennel seeds.

Izzy R. United StatesNot the texture I thought it would be
I thought this would be actually chunky root, but it is a fine ground powder. Still good though!

Joyce L. United StatesVery fresh
As with all Essential Organics products - the licorice root is wonderfully fresh. this is my first time trying licorice root and I was expecting a flavor more like the anise seed. It turns out the flavor is more “earthy” with the licorice flavor I’m familiar with coming at the end.But mixing this with anise makes for a wonderful tea for me.
