Botanical Name: Glycyrrhiza uralensis or Glycyrrhiza glabra
Origin: China
Production: The licorice plant is a herbaceous perennial legume that grows best in well-drained soils in full sun. The root system consists of one main, deep taproot with several horizontal roots branching out. The roots are harvested after the end of the third year of growth.
Qualities: Used most commonly as a flavoring or for medicinal use, licorice root is one of the most widely used herbs worldwide for respiratory and digestive support. It is taken to soothe a variety of ailments including heartburn, stomach ulcers, digestive discomfort, sore throat, and coughs. Licorice has a distinctive flavor and sweetness that comes from the glycyrrhizin that composes up to 25% of the root's makeup. It is often likened to the flavor of anise and fennel seeds.
Common Use: Licorice has a distinctive flavor and sweetness. It can be prepared as a tea, tincture, or taken encapsulated. The sticks and slices may be chewed by themselves and are pleasant and tasty.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
Safety: Not recommended for use in persons with hypertension, liver disorders, edema, severe kidney insufficiency, low blood potassium, or heart disease.

CanadaVery fine, makes a sort of 'mud'
So much of OM's product is fantastic. This licorice... it's cut so finely that it makes a sort of mud in the tea strainer, a fair bit of which comes through into the mug. Basically what reviewer Patti says. I do rather like licorice tea, but whenever I think of making some with my OM licorice I think "nah, gonna skip it".

Is the glycyrrhizin removed from this licorice root? It was ok to begin with but now it throws me for a curve? Thx
