Candy Candy Licorice
The choice of refined palates, licorice is a smooth, slightly bitter candy treat. Favored by the more mature licorice has an enduring popularity, and surprising health benefits.
Talk About Taste
The first thing you need to know: regardless of where you are on the Red Vines vs. Twizzlers debate, neither are licorice, they're berry flavored chews. Black licorice, while redundant, is actually licorice. American licorice products are often sweetened artificially, so if you're looking to enjoy a more natural treat, be sure to look for Anise Oils or Licorice Extracts. Imported licorice candies, like Dutch licorice and licorice allsorts, are also known for being both healthy and strongly flavored licorice treats.
Licorice comes in many forms, the soft chew or soft eating form being the easiest to find. A good soft chew should stop just short of melting in your mouth, it's sharp flavor in contrast with it's smooth texture. Licorice wheels are waxier, for lack of a better word, and more likely to stick to your teeth. Licorice pastilles provide the sharpest licorice taste, and the most bitter. There are also licorice drops, laces, bite sized licorice twists, and the licorice flavored gum, Black Jack. And let us not forget the licorice jelly bean, easily the most reviled part of any Easter basket. Licorice bridge mix can be a great way to sample all these varieties.
Health Benefits
Licorice has a number of health benefits which include:
* Anti-inflammatory properties.
* Increased blood pressure (some people need it!).
* Laxative properties.
* Expectorant properties.
Fun with Licorice
While licorice can be enjoyed on it's own, you can try licorice as a part of your other favorite snacks. Some ideas include putting Good & Plenties or licorice drops in movie theater pop corn, cola, vanilla ice cream, and hot cocoa.
