Licorice, also spelled liquorice, is a perennial bush growing up to about a metre high. It’s sweet smell is due to the volatile compound anethole which sends off a strong aroma and is also found in fennel and aniseed. It’s sweetness comes from glycyrrhizin which is a sweetness many times stronger than that of sugar.
Licorice also contains phytoestrogens including glabrene and glabridin, which can be precursors of certain hormones in the body.
For many years the tobacco industry were big users of licorice to add flavour and moisture to tobacco. This was banned in America in 2009.
Licorice is popular as a candy or sweet. However, though the name is often used, and licorice is in these products, the primary taste is more often supplied by adding aniseed oil – so it’s a bit of a cheat!
