Description
Though not the source of the licorice flavor used in candy, this wild plant has a natural sweetness because of an organic substance called "glycyrrhizin" that tastes about fifty times sweeter than table sugar. Early settlers and Native Americans often used the roots of wild licorice for both medicinal and culinary purposes. On their expedition to the western United States, Lewis and Clark gathered many plant specimens previously unknown to science, including this native species. In their diary of the journey, they record finding wild licorice near the banks of the Missouri River on May 8, 1805.
