Sweetly tart
Liquorice root is a popular ingredient in many Indian and Ayurvedic dishes and recipes.
Liquorice powder can be added to sweet dishes as an herbal tea or as described in Ayurvedic scriptures.
Liquorice - healthy in moderation
If you have high blood pressure, avoid excessive consumption of liquorice. Licorice can contain up to 14% glycyrrhizin. According to EU recommendations, the daily dose of glycyrrhizin should not exceed 100 mg per day. This corresponds to 700 mg of liquorice (approx. one level teaspoon of liquorice powder).
