Licorice Facts from RJ's:
The liquorice plant is a perennial herb belonging to the pea family.
- The word ‘Liquorice’ comes from the Greek meaning of ‘Sweet Root’.
- There are 20 different species that grow in Europe and Asia, Australia,
England and North and South America. England is home to wild liquorice
also known as rest-harrow or cammock.
- The Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Assyrians, Babylonians and the ancient
Chinese all used liquorice as a flavouring and a medicine.
- In ancient China, liquorice was believed to give strength, prolong life and
has been attributed to having divine powers of healing.
- In Egypt the Pharaohs used liquorice to create a traditional drink called
erqesos, which was consumed as a healing tonic.
- Ancient Greek and Roman Sweets included nougat and liquorice.
- In the Buddist religion, an infusion of liquorice root is used in the
ceremony of bathing the statue of the Buddha on the morning of his
birthday.
- Brahma, the Hindu god praised liquorice as a ‘General tonic, cosmetic and
elixir of life”.
- How Liquorice was introduced to Britain is a mystery. The Romans could
have imported it or it is possible that it was bought back from the Middle
East at the time of the crusades.
- After the fall of the Roman Empire, liquorice appears to have survived in
Britain as a medicinal plant in monasteries founded by Mediterranean
religious orders, used by Benedictine and Dominican monks.
- Liquorice was recorded in England as early as 1200 at the time of King
Arthur and King Lear.
- In Elizabethan England, liquorice was used as a sweetener.
- In the 1700’s Liquorice production was focused in Pontefract (Yorkshire),
Worksop and London and was mainly grown for medicinal purposes and
sent around the country. In 1853 Pontefract was the only producer of
Liquorice in England.
