This premium wild crafted licorice originates from Italy, where it grows spontaneously and free of chemicals. The juice is extracted from the root of this plant, reduced into a solid form, and then shaped into our small lozenges. OrganicBotanicals Pure Licorice is free of preservatives, artificial flavouring, colours, added sugar, molasses and gluten. Use OrganicBotanicals Pure Licorice as a palate cleanser, to help with various cravings or to soothe an irritated throat. We use only the purest natural ingredients.
