Licorice is one of the oldest forms of candy. There are evidences suggesting it was made as early as the 13th century. It continues to be a popular product today and makes up a considerable portion of the billions of dollars in annual non-chocolate candy market sales. Licorice is a shiny, gelled candy with a semi-firm consistency that is originally flavored with licorice root extract.
In general, licorice is a moderately sweet candy, and is available in a variety of flavors such as black licorice, strawberry, cherry and chocolate. Presently, it is being promoted as a healthy snack food because it contains almost no fat per serving. Licorice is made using a continuous process that involves mixing and cooking, forming the candy, cutting it, and putting it in packaging.
