1LB LICORICE ROOT Glycyrrhiza glabra Brewcraft Dried Shredded Chips

1 Pound Glycyrrhiza glabra.  Licorice has been used for everything from cough remedies to ulcer cures. The root imparts a very characteristic flavor and is surprisingly sweet and slightly woody. It contains glycyrrhizin, a substance 50 times sweeter than sugar, and it is often added to chocolate to enhance sweetness. It is used to make root beers, and also in some beers. Also popular in herbal tea blends and candies.  The licorice plant has been used for centuries as a natural remedy.  Some say that licorice root can help with inflammation, upset stomachs, weight loss, and more!  The flavor of licorice should not be confused with that of anise, which is not related and is quite different when tasted side by side.

The dried root format ensures optimal preservation of flavor compounds and makes it easy to measure and incorporate into your brewing process. Whether you’re crafting a traditional root beer, experimenting with herbal wines, or developing your own signature brew, this licorice root brings authentic character to your creations.
