Horehound: A Timeless Herb with a Bold History
Horehound, a centuries-old herb from the mint family, has been used in North America since the 1500s, known for its distinctively bitter taste and medicinal properties. Traditionally used to soothe sore throats and aid digestion, horehound candy evolved from early herbal remedies into a nostalgic treat that still carries a unique, tangy flavor softened by sugar. Once marketed as a cure-all, horehound faced regulatory changes in the early 1900s, shifting its branding from a "cure" to a "relief." Despite its divisive taste—loved by some, avoided by others—horehound remains a staple in both herbal medicine and old-fashioned candy shops, keeping its legacy alive. But is horehound candy more than just a sweet throwback?
