## Description

desertcart.com : Darrell Lea Soft Australian Licorice, Non-GMO, No Palm Oil, Plant Based, No High Fructose Corn Syrup, Soft & Chewy Licorice Candy, Made in Australia (Original Black, 7 Ounce (Pack of 1)) : Licorice Candy : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: OH! MY! GAWD! - This is the best licorice on planet earth. And I don’t say that lightly — I’ve eaten a lot of licorice in a lot of countries around the globe, and this one tops them all. The flavor is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — not overly sweet, not bitter, just that classic, satisfying licorice taste done right. The texture is exactly what you want too: fresh, soft, and easy to enjoy without being sticky or tough. It consistently arrives fresh and delicious, which makes a huge difference. You can tell it hasn’t been sitting around. They’ve also recently improved the packaging, and it’s a noticeable upgrade. It’s much easier to open, reseal, and grab a piece for daily snacking without making a mess or needing to transfer it to another container. If you’re a licorice fan, this is absolutely worth trying. It’s become a repeat purchase for me.
Review: Best Licorice - Best licorice available. Soft chewed and flavorful

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it real licorice or merely licorice flavored?**
A: It is real and it is delicious.  The best black licorice I've had in the states!!  This is my favorite treat!

**Q: Nutritionsl information?**
A: It shows the back of the bag with the nutritional information on Amazon

**Q: What Are The Health Benefits?**
A: licorice root extract as used in licorice has digestive tract benefits. Licorice root is used to soothe gastrointestinal problems. In cases of food poisoning, stomach ulcers, and heartburn, licorice root extract can speed the repair of stomach lining and restore balance. This is due to the anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties of glycyrrhizic acid.

**Q: Why does the label in the picture say no palm oil but it is listed in the ingredients?**
A: We recently went through an ingredient change switching from palm oil to sunflower oil. We started shipping the sunflower oil product in October. There might still be some packages that contain the palm oil.  Please reach out to customerservice@darrelllea.com if you would like a replacement that is palm oil free.
