###No it has no nutritional value. Just do not eat it all the time because depending on whether you eat brown, red, or black, it is loaded in sugar which eventually turns into bubbling fat.

If you eat 1 serving of licorice you have consumed 135 calories. If you eat more calories than you burn in a day you gain fat. So is it fattening? YES all food is fattening if consumed in excess.

If you are referring to natural licorice and not the candy in US stores, it comes from the root of the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra. It also does not taste the same as the candy which is flavored by anise instead.

The History of Licorice

Licorice dates back to the early times of man. Many pharaohs and prophets enjoyed licorice. Soldiers were recorded drinking licorice to quench their thirsts on long marches.

Licorice comes from a plant called the Glycyrrhiza, meaning sweet root in Greek. During the Middle Ages, crusaders brought licorice to England.

Many years later, a monastery in Pontefract, England began producing licorice candy. Early settlers brought licorice recipes to America. Since then, America has produced and imported delicious licorice products.

How is Licorice Made?

There are two ways to produce licorice. Companies producing licorice on small production scales often use the corn starch molding process, while larger-sclae production companies use the licorice rope extrusion process.

In the starch molding process a tray with long rows of molds is filled with corn starch to keep the licorice from sticking. Next, hot syrup containing licorice is poured into the molds and cooled. How the syrup is cooked determines if the candy is tough, chewy or soft. After the cooling process, the licorice is dumped onto a packaging table and given a glaze.

The licorice rope extrusion process is another way to make licorice candy. It starts with boiling a mix containing licorice root extract to an exact temperature. Next, flavorings and colorings are added and the mix is slowly cooked until it is a dough-like consistency. Afterwards, it is placed in an extruder that resembles a meat processor. The mix is forced out of tiny holes making it into a rope. The rope is sometimes twisted to give a more interesting form.

That is the flavor of anise- which along with wormwood and fennel create the 'trinity' of absinthe flavor. Wormwood supposedly is bitter with a woodsy, somewhat floral flavor.

Absolutely Not! It is made from natural ingredients like Molasses, Wheat Flour, Corn Syrup, Caramel Coloring, Licorice Extract, Salt, and Anise Flavor. That is what is on the ingredients label found on a Red Vines Black Licorice package.

The only thing a dog should have is some meats and veggies. Other than that many other foods can be toxic. At the very least licorice will give your dog diarrhea and this happens in humans as well. However, often some animals are treated with licorice root for different problems, but this is a far cry from candied licorice or any store bought licorice. Don't give it to the dog!

I don't think they can since licorice is sweet. Hamsters shouldn't have anything sweet or salty because they get obese.
