DESCRIPTION

Most of us know the name “horehound”…but not what it is. Yes, horehound is an old-fashioned candy, part of the 1800s candy tradition. Like most botanically based hard candies, horehound was also used as a medicine—and still is! But how does it taste? That depends on who you ask. Some say it tastes like licorice, toasted marshmallow, or even a bitter green. Some LOVE it and some don’t. Our taste experts here at True Treats agree: horehound has a bitter flavor, cut by a “sanded sugar” shell which also keeps it from sticking. If you like bitter, tart, or astringent flavors, you’ll love horehound. A piece of civil war era candy in every bite, perfect for your civil war candy box, with the history of horehound and a period image on the label.

Horehound: A Timeless Herb with a Bold History

Horehound is a plant that arrived in North America somewhere in the 1500s. It’s of the mint family but clearly a distant cousin where flavor is concerned. It’s not as invasive as mint and grows in a clump, more than an ever-extending stream of vines that swallow up everything in its path as, say, peppermint. Horehound is the bitter herb of the Bible, an ancient medicine, an old time candy, and – in plant form – a curative tea. You probably have a few questions about horehound, so read on!
