Description
Mulethi, or Licorice Root, is a versatile botanical with a wide range of industrial applications. We offer dried fibrous roots and fine powder derived from the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant. This plant is famous for its sweet-tasting roots, which contain a compound called glycyrrhizin. Furthermore, this compound is nearly fifty times sweeter than sugar. Consequently, Mulethi is used extensively as a natural flavoring agent. For instance, the tobacco industry uses it to add sweetness and moisture to various products. Additionally, it is a key ingredient in the confectionery industry for making traditional licorice candies. Moreover, it is used in the beverage sector to balance the flavors of herbal teas and spirits.
Beyond its flavor, Mulethi is a powerhouse of medicinal benefits. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for its soothing effect on the respiratory system. Therefore, it is a common ingredient in cough syrups and throat lozenges. Additionally, it has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties. For example, it helps soothe the stomach lining and treats issues like acid reflux and ulcers. Furthermore, it is used in the cosmetic industry for its skin-brightening effects. Many high-end creams use licorice extract to reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Because we prioritize quality, we ensure our roots are harvested from mature plants to maximize their active ingredients.
