So, what is lakrisrot?

Lakrisrot, also known as liquorice root, is a herbaceous perennial plant native to Europe and Asia. Its woody and fibrous root is harvested for its distinct flavour, which is sweet and slightly bitter with a characteristic tangy aftertaste. In traditional medicine, lakrisrot has been used to soothe sore throats and digestive issues, and its active compounds are believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The root is commonly used in confectionery, particularly in Scandinavian countries, where it is used to flavour sweets, candies, and liquor. Its unique taste makes lakrisrot a favourite among liquorice lovers and a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savoury dishes.
