Historical Insights
Historical Insights
Licorice candy is unique. First is its global reach. Made from the root of the glycyrrhiza glabra plant, licorice is a native of Southern Europe and Asia where it has grown for thousands of years. From there, it appeared in India, Africa, Europe, and, in the 16th century, North America. Like most candies, its origin was medicinal. The ancient Greek physician and botanist, Dioscorides recommended licorice as a curative for asthma, sore throats, mouth ulcers, and stomach distress.
In the 13th century, Flemish author Jacob van Maerlant described licorice as a remedy for coughs and respiratory conditions. Starting in the sixteenth century, the Blackfoot Indians of North America used licorice to cure earaches.
When chewed, the end of the licorice root splays out forming a small brush that people in various parts of the world chewed to clean their mouths and teeth.
