@SarahAndSamantha When I was a kid i had a friend whose uncle worked at the Switzers licorice factory in St. Louis and he would bring me bags of fresh black licorice.
@SarahAndSamantha Black licorice is flavored with anise oil. It is very beneficial to digestion and will help to speed up digestion when you’ve had a meal and feel like you are getting indigestion. Even licorice candy has enough anise oil in it to help with that. Some cultures love to use anise seeds in cookies and biscotti.
