Licorice Root Powder

Product Description:
 
Licorice Root Powder is made from the dried, finely ground root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, known across India as Mulethi in Hindi and Athimadhuram in Tamil. Its naturally sweet, mellow root has been used for centuries across Ayurvedic, Unani, and traditional wellness systems, as well as in confectionery and beverage flavouring around the world, licorice candy and licorice tea both trace back to the same root.
 
The roots are sun-dried and milled into a fine, light-toned powder suited to traditional formulation, herbal blends, and natural flavouring applications. Supplied in food-grade quality, it is suitable for both beverage flavouring and formulation use. Licorice Root Powder is a steady requirement for Ayurvedic and Unani formulators, as well as confectionery and beverage manufacturers using it as a natural sweetener, and it's just as practical for a wellness brand testing a new blend, or a smaller buyer trying a batch before committing to more.
