Licorice is extracted from the roots of the tree, which is notable for being 50 times sweeter than ordinary sugar and can be chewed or eaten like candy.

Eating large amounts of licorice lowers potassium levels in the body, which leads to muscle weakness and high blood pressure, swelling, and irregular heartbeats. Therefore, patients with heart or blood pressure problems, especially high-pressure problems, should avoid consuming licorice.

You can consume licorice root as a tea, tincture, powder, or dietary supplement. It can also be applied topically as a gel. Although there is no standard dosage for licorice root, you should limit your total intake of glycyrrhizin to no more than 100 mg per day. The recommended dosage of licorice root is less than 75 milligrams per day, according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.

Licorice root gives the greatest flavor when steeped in hot liquid. Teas, syrups, sauces and puddings can be infused with the unmistakable notes of aniseed by adding the root, heating it and removing it before serving. Or use root powder or licorice extract directly in salads, teas and various dishes. Licorice roots give off strong flavors even without heating. Like vanilla beans, they can be used to flavor sugar and like dried juniper berries, they can spice up salt regimens
