Product details

Licorice, also known as sweet root, is a remarkable perennial plant that has been valued for over 6,000 years. This evergreen plant can reach a height of up to 100 cm and is characterized by its feathery leaves and the bluish and white butterfly-like flowers that appear in summer. Licorice thrives best in large pots or containers, as it is frost-sensitive and does not handle frequent repotting well. The roots and runners are harvested after about three years, during which the roots emit an intense anise or fennel scent. Licorice has a wide range of uses, particularly in the food industry, where it is used as a sweetener. The powder derived from the root can be found in candies, beverages, and even in dental care products. This plant is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, offering numerous health and wellness benefits.

  • Contains glycyrrhizin, which is 50 times sweeter than sugar
  • The roots can be used to make tea
  • Dried roots serve as a natural tooth cleaner
  • Blooms in summer with attractive white flowers
  • Suitable for growing in pots or containers due to its frost sensitivity.
