Well sort of yes. Black licorice contains natural licorice root, but the dominant flavouring is usually aniseed. Red licorice is simply made like black licorice but usually has a strawberry flavour.

The answer to this depends on the specific product you are talking about. Real licorice contains licorice extract. Period. So Red Vines, Twizzlers and many of the fruity flavored 'licorice' are not real licorice. Products like RJ's Soft Raspberry Licorice from New Zealand and Australia's Darrell Lea Licorice in Raspberry, Mango, Green Apple and Strawberry flavors ALL contain Real Licorice Extract. So these are considered real licorice. All of these product can be found at www.marinamarket.com Home of the Licorice Shrine which boasts 380+ kinds of real licorice.

No, the red part is artificial. But licorice is the real, organic part. I believe the color of organic licorice is black.

By red licorice, I believe you are referring to the candy. Raw licorice can have a dark reddish hue, however. Red licorice, at least in the states, is flavored candy that does not contain true licorice. On the other hand, black licorice has licorice extract added to it. The information can be found on the nutritional labeling.
