Liquorice root as a natural superfood snack

Long before liquorice became a sweet in a bag, people simply chewed the root of the liquorice plant. These dried sticks, known in Dutch as zoethout, have a naturally sweet and slightly earthy taste that slowly comes out as you chew. That makes them a popular alternative to sweets for people who like to keep their hands and mouth busy, for example on a long drive or behind the desk.

Ways to enjoy liquorice sticks

  • As a snack: peel back a little bark and chew the fibrous end.
  • As liquorice tea: break a few pieces, pour on hot water and let them steep.
  • As a stirrer: use a stick to stir tea or a warm drink for a hint of sweetness.
  • As a treat to share: put a jar of sticks on the counter or table.

Good to know

Liquorice root contains glycyrrhizin, the substance that gives it its sweetness. Enjoy it in moderation, and check with your doctor if you have high blood pressure or are pregnant.
