Certified Organic. Licorice is a medicinal herb that dates back over 4000 years. Ancient clay tables describe it as the “elixir of life” for its cure all characteristics. The botanical name for licorice actually means sweet root and is the key to the remarkable taste and medicinal properties of licorice. In the root of the licorice plant is a substance called “glycyrrhizin” which is 50 times sweeter than cane sugar.
