April 12th is Licorice
April 12th is Licorice Day, a date dedicated to this medicinal and tasty root, widely known in Brazil and in many parts of the world. Licorice is extracted from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant and is used both in cooking and in traditional medicine, especially for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties.
Although its use in cooking is most popular in the form of sweets, such as licorice candies, the plant is also recognized for its therapeutic properties, being used to relieve sore throats, coughs and even digestive problems.
The day was created to promote knowledge about licorice, its properties and the benefits it can offer to health, in addition to celebrating its traditional use in food. During this date, producers and industries take the opportunity to highlight licorice in their productions, while also raising awareness about its ######altivo and importance in Brazil and in the world.
National Licorice Day is an opportunity to remember the properties of this plant and how it continues to be valued in different cultures, not only for its sweetness, but also for its beneficial qualities to health.
