Glycyrrhiza glabra 20 seeds "Licorice"

We have come to associate licorice as a flavor, at once loved by many and disliked by others. The flavor that conjures "licorice" in our minds is not what it seems. What we have come to associate as licorice flavor is actually anise. Formulations for licorice candies contain anise oil as the primary flavor, with licorice root itself used as a sweetener, a sort of background flavor. Licorice is one of those herbs that crosses the lines among fragrance, flavor and medicinal herb. The source plant is a member of the pea family. The most familiar licorice is European licorice Glycyrrhiza glabra. Category:HerbsHeight:4-6 ft. (1.2-1.8 m)Spacing:24-36 in.
