LIQUORICE (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
The liquorice plant is an herbaceous perennial legume.
Liquorice extracts have been used in herbalism and traditional medicine
Most liquorice was once used as a flavouring agent for tobacco for flavour enhancing and moistening agents in the manufacture of American blend cigarettes, moist snuff, chewing tobacco, and pipe tobacco. Liquorice provided tobacco products with a natural sweetness and a distinctive flavour that blends readily with the natural and imitation flavouring components employed in the tobacco industry
Liquorice flavour is found in a wide variety of candies or sweets and beverages.
