Did you know that licorice was historically known more as a medicinal plant than the sweet delicacy we know it today?
The earliest records of the licorice root date back to 2300 B.C. The Chinese consider it as one of the most important medicinal plants. It was believed to have been used to treat and prevent a variety of diseases. Manuscripts dating back to 360 A.D. reveal that licorice is said to help with skin ailments, eye problems, bronchitis, and even hair loss. The Egyptians were also known to have used this medicinal plant. In fact, licorice was found in King Tut's tomb when it was discovered.
Licorice was given the name "Glycyrrhiza" by the Greek physician Dioscorides, derived from the Greek words "glukos riza," meaning "sweet root." Famous people like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte are known to have preached the benefits of licorice. Napoleon often chewed licorice during battle. He was known to eat so much of it that it often turned his teeth black!
