Licorice is an ancient herb that has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Licorice is also very sweet and contains glycyrrhizic acid which is fifty times sweeter than sugar. This provides a flavorful way to take the bitter edge off of many herbal decoctions, and is exactly why we offer it here. We, of course, offer only organic Licorice Root Powder, free from adulterants of any kind.
