/ For taste and color /
/ licorice in antiquity /
The history of the licorice root,[1] from which licorice
is later extracted, goes back several thousand years.
However, what we know today as licorice was considered
a medicinal remedy until the 18th century. Licorice root was generally used for coldsand also for stomach ailments.
It is also mentioned in traditional Chinese herbal books
and in Egyptian papyrus. Scientists have found licorice
in the tomb of a pharaoh, during the excavationof the tomb
of Tutankhamen (1347-1339 B.C.).[2] Ancient Greek and
Roman physicians favored licorice root as a cure for coughs,
colds, and catarrh (inflammation of the mucous membranes).
Liquorice is a
product based
on the extract
of licorice root.
It tastes like this delicacy
reminiscent of
cough syrups.
In most licorice
has a distinctly pronounced black
color, which
is achieved
by charcoal.
Licorice exists
as a stand-alone
candy product,
aswell as an additive.[6]
Liquorice is not just candy, but also a plant, which in Finnish is called lakritsi. In Russian is licorice. It's the same licorice that sold in Russian pharmacies
and is part of many medicines.

During the Renaissance, licorice became a "folk" medicine. A 17th century botanical reference book described in detail the licorice plant and the uses of its juice extracted from the root. In the Russian kitchen liquorice was mostly added to dried fruit such as apples, cloudberries and cranberries. However, it was later
replaced by sugar.[3] The addition of salt
to licorice is quite popular in the Netherlands,
Germany, Finland and other northern countries.[4]

Licorice is not a rare plant, it grows wild In the south of Russia, in the Caucasus, Ukraine, Siberia, and Asia. It is an herbaceous plant of the legume family, the root of which is boiled and this sweet mass is used in the confectionery industry.

/ The process of making licorice /
This is followed by the addition
of ingredients such as salt, glucose syrup, and various flavorings. Wheat flour is added to keep the shape and prevent sticking together, wheat flour, modified starch or gelatin. The consistency of licorice and its ability
to take shape is regulated by the addition of starch or gelatin.[7]
The process of making licorice-based products has remained unchanged for
years. Licorice roots are taken as the basis.
In the beginning, they are subjected
to primary processing (they are washed, cleaned, dried, grated and boiled in water). As a result, the first stage is a thick liquid, visually black, which, until it hardens,
is distributed in appropriate forms.
In the next production stage the resulting solidified mass of licorice is first crushed and then dissolved in hot water. In order
to obtain the flavor that is characteristic
of the different varieties of licorice, the licorice extract content should be at least
three percent of the total mass
of the product.
На следующей стадии производства полученную застывшую массу лакрицы сперва измельчают,
а затем растворяют в горячей воде. Для получения вкуса, который характерен для различных сортов лакрицы, содержание экстракта солодки должно быть не менее
трёх процентов от общей массы продукции.

/ Interesting facts about licorice /
Licorice was used as an additive for tobacco and beer
(it makes it more frothy). The substances saponins create the foam. Licorice was once even added to foam for fire extinguishers.[8]
One of the greatest generals of antiquity, Alexander the Great, provided his troops with supplies of licorice during his campaigns due to the plant's excellent thirst-quenching properties.[10]
Licorice candies were invented by the Dutch
in the 17th century. They soon gained popularity all over Europe. Napoleon is said

/ Liquorice and salmiak are different delicacies /
/ history of Salmiak /
/ Liquorice FAKE /
The taste of salmiak depends on the content of ammonium chloride. Previously, its content should not have exceeded 7%,
but in 2010 this restriction was lifted.[11] The remaining 93%
of the product contains: starch, gelatin, salt, charcoal, which determines the traditional color, sometimes adding and aromatic substances such as menthol.
In 1997, a special society of consumers of this delicacy was registered. Every year its members hold two mandatory events: in January they choose the best product, and in the summer they hold a traditional Salmiak picnic.[12]
Salmiakki is a traditional Finnish product. Unfamiliarly, it may taste like liquorice.
But not for Finns: they always recognize the black delicacy, which has a distinctive sweet and salty taste.
The name "salmiakki"
is explained by
large amount
of salammoniac
(NH4CI ammonium chloride), which
is also known
as ammonia. It gives the product its characteristic aroma.
The originator of this unusual delicacy is considered to be the famous Finnish entrepreneur and confectioner Carl Fazer. It was Fazer who launched the production of small diamond-shaped plates in 1897. At first, the word was a trademark, but later it became the common name for all such sweets.
Over the last hundred years, the line of salmiak products has expanded noticeably. In Finnish stores, you can find not only candy, but also salmiak ice cream and salmiak liqueur.
