Liquorice powder

Liquorice powder is made from the dried, ground root of the liquorice plant and is used as a flavouring. The supplied figures, drawn from literature sources, list 6.3g of protein, 1.7g of fat, 580mg of calcium and 50mg of iron per 100g.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The amount of these nutrients obtained depends on how much powder is used. Liquorice also contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that can raise blood pressure and lower blood potassium, particularly with high or prolonged intake. Its concentration is not included in the supplied data. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
