Licorice root

From this woody plant licorice flavor is extracted and used in candy and medications. The extract also may be used to color and thicken stout or porter beers. The sweet taste of natural licorice extract comes from glycyrrhizia, a naturally occurring chemical that, if ingested in large quantities, has adverse effects on blood pressure. For this reason, in the United States, most licorice candy is flavored with anise or is artificially flavored (check labels).
