Licorice comes from the root of a legume native to southern Europe, India and parts of Asia. Licorice flavor is used in a wide variety of candies and sweets. (In most of these candies, the taste is reinforced by aniseed oil so the actual content of licorice is very low.) In Syria and Egypt, licorice is sold as a drink. In Italy, unsweetened licorice is consumed in the form of small black pieces made only from 100% licorice extract. Dried licorice can be chewed as a sweet and can be used by brewers to flavor and color the class of beers known as porter.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
