Black Licorice –Childhood Memories – Not your Ordinary Sweet

I have great memories of eating black licorice on the porch with my dad as a kid. It has been something the two of us have shared since he introduced me to black licorice when I was 4 years old. Over the years, if either of us come across a really great black licorice candy , we always buy extra to share together. I have discovered that black licorice lovers are a rare breed and when you meet one, you have a common interest from the start!

Interestingly, for hundreds of years the licorice root extract has been used in traditional medicine and continues to be used today for settling upset stomachs, calming a sore throat/cough, and in Europe and Asia licorice extract is a common ingredient in cough remedies. You can’t say that about all sweets!!
