Dried Licorice Slices 1 kg – Nature’s Sweet Healing Root for Health and Flavour in Every Kiwi Home

1. Description

Nature has always provided the best remedies, and few ingredients prove this better than Dried Licorice Root Slices (1 kg). Known for centuries as a natural sweetener, herbal remedy, and flavour enhancer, licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is one of the world’s most treasured botanicals — and now it’s available in premium, naturally dried slices, ideal for use across culinary, health, and wellness applications in New Zealand.

These Dried Licorice Slices are carefully harvested from mature licorice roots, gently washed, sun-dried, and sliced to preserve their powerful nutrients and characteristic sweetness. Unlike processed licorice products found in sweets or drinks, this form is 100% natural, free from preservatives, colourants, and artificial additives. It’s pure, earthy licorice — in its most authentic form.

Each slice carries a rich, woody aroma and a naturally sweet, slightly bitter taste that blends beautifully into teas, herbal infusions, tonics, and broths. In traditional herbal medicine — especially Ayurveda and Chinese herbalism — licorice has been valued for its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and soothing properties. It’s known to ease coughs, support respiratory health, reduce acidity, and strengthen the immune system.

This 1 kg bulk pack ensures excellent value for households, tea producers, wellness centres, herbal practitioners, and restaurants that use natural ingredients for both flavour and health. Sourced from sustainable farms and dried using traditional methods, our licorice slices bring the genuine taste and benefits of this ancient root straight to your NZ kitchen.

From Ancient Healing to Modern Wellness

Licorice has been used for over 4,000 years — from Egyptian medicine to ancient Chinese apothecaries. It was once called “the sweet root” because of its distinct natural sweetness, which is 30–50 times sweeter than sugar, thanks to glycyrrhizin, a plant compound that also gives it its therapeutic power.

Today, it’s loved worldwide not only as a herbal remedy but also as a natural flavour enhancer for teas, candies, beverages, and savoury dishes. The Dried Licorice Slices 1 kg bring this same ancient tradition to New Zealand kitchens — offering both taste and wellness in one simple, versatile ingredient.
