The Traditional Favorite Licorice And Its Sweet Benefits
Licorice is a plant of the legume family wherein its roots are extracted to give a strong and unique flavoring to different foods and beverages and even medicines. Not only that. In beauty products such as face creams, soaps and lotions, this root is also used due to its many health and beauty benefits. In parts of Asia, particularly, this plant is used as a whitening substance. In groceries, it is normal to see loads of products in this flavor such as personalized sweets and sodas.
Commonly, however, it is in personalized sweets that this flavor is found. In the earlier part of the 20th century, licorice-flavored confections were started to be produced in mass quantity due to the ever growing demand of the people for this flavor. The Chicago-based American Licorice Company produced the classic Black Vines in 1920 and it became an instant favorite since then.
But the use of this plant for personalized sweets and soaps did not start so late but in fact, since the ancient times, it was widely used. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs made great uses of this plant and would often incorporate it in their diets and rituals. Romans would also refresh themselves from their long and arduous marches by drinking the thirst-quenching licorice drink. The plant's benefits were also widely promoted by great personalities of the world including Alexander the Great and the prophet Brahma of India.
Speaking of benefits, this plant is widely used as an alternative to sucrose because of its 50 times sweeter taste. It is also used to expel mucus in the lungs by means of coughing it out. As a mild laxative, this plant is used in many digestive healings. Additionally, it is not only used as flavorings to personalized sweets and sodas but in teas as well.
Since the manufacture of Black Vines, personalized sweets became varied then. There had been Licorice Snaps, Black Crows and many more. Other licorice products which do not really have any root extract in them also surfaced and also became favorites. There had been lollipops, gums, chewy candies and a lot more. They came in different textures, shapes and even colors. - 17273
