"Licorice roots" – Noble and selected underground branches of the appreciated plant, from the scientific name Glycyrrhiza Glabra, commonly called licorice, ideal for an attentive and demanding consumer. The licorice root is 100% natural and comes from our plantations in Calabria.
The Calabrian licorice (or liquorice) boasts unique characteristics: the particular bittersweet taste of its roots, is the result of an extraordinary mix of climatic and biological conditions of the soil in which it grows spontaneously, especially the Ionian coast. It seems that it was the Benedictine monks who introduced it in Calabria, around the year 1000, for therapeutic reasons.
Fundamental is its anti-inflammatory action, given by the active ingredient glycyrrhizin. But it is also a good source of vitamin B1, B2, B3 and B5, as well as vitamin E, and contains a fair percentage of calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and zinc. It is useful to combat disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, from constipation to slow digestion, and is a natural remedy against sore throat. The extracts of the root are then often used in the production of products for the care of oral hygiene: it is in fact indicated for the prevention and treatment of dental caries and gingivitis, thanks to its antibacterial effects.
Avoid excessive consumption of licorice in case of hypertension.
The licorice sticks are placed directly in the mouth and once the root has softened it will be possible to suck it so as to savor its excellent taste. You can also decorticate the licorice stick for a quick tasting. The licorice roots are perfect enjoyed naturally, excellent for promoting digestion and ideal for making infusions and liqueurs.
