Liquorice Root Sticks

Ruitenberg BasIQs is expert in liquorice ingredients. Liquorice root sticks are the harvested roots of the liquorice plant, the Glycyrrhiza glabra. After harvesting, the roots are sorted, dried, cleaned and cut to length. A field of Glycyrrhiza glabra plants yields a crop every three to five years. The glycyrrhizin content in the root varies with soil type, age of the plant and the area where the plant grows.
