One bite will make you wonder why you didn't hear about it before!!! RJ's Licorice Ltd is the sole New Zealand owned and operated manufacturer of licorice confectionery products. RJ's Licorice is a Family owned business and has been operating for seven years out of Levin. They offer products of extremely high quality, flavor and texture. The botanical name for licorice is Glycyrrhiza glabra - licorice is a herb obtained from the roots of the plant. Known as the "Blue Flowering Snow Pea" plant grown in and around areas such as parts of China, Iran Iraq and Pakistan. Licorice is 50 times sweeter than sugar, so sweet it is bitter. The Chinese have termed Licorice 'the great harmoniser' claiming that it blends and balances the effects of all herbs in a formula. Nearly two-thirds of all traditional formulas in Chinese Medicine contain Licorice. In China today, licorice is still the second most prescribed medicinal herb, behind Ginseng. Licorice roots have been found in the tombs of the Pharaohs attesting to the great respect for it's healing abilities. Hippocrates in the 4th century BC recommended licorice for the treatment of ulcers. One saying of an Arab Physician and philosopher, Avicenna is "the infused licorice purifies the voice and the trachea, and is useful in disorders and diets".The major active ingredient glycyrrhizin was isolated and shown to have a cortisone-like action which explains its remarkable ability to reduce inflammation and speed the healing of ulcerated tissue.Today, naturopaths prescribe licorice for external ulcerous conditions such as burns, eczema and urticaria (which is swelling induced by poisonous plants or allergic reactions) and for internal ulcerous conditions such as bronchitis, sore throat and upper respiratory and gastro-intestinal tract infections. | | | Features: | |

 Best licorice - half way around the worldDec 22, 2007
By R. Totah
I bought my first RJ's Licorice when I was flying out of New Zealand and needed to spend the rest of my money in the duty free before we took off back to the USA...needless to say, I wish I bought more. I agree with the first reviewer, this is the best licorice, its expensive, but its a long way from New Zealand...trust me I had to fly home from there!

Simply the best licorice you will ever eat!Jul 20, 2007
By Rosanne E. Reynolds
I am a black licorice freak, so I know. Every licorice fan that I know who has tried this brand is hooked - beware! For all of us, it is now impossible to eat any other brand. And sadly, none of us can make it through one day w/o devouring the whole bag, once it's opened. It's expensive and not too easy to find, so be very sure that you're willing to be addicted before you try it.

Yum Yum!Dec 03, 2009
By Bailey
I have had licorice all over Europe and in the United States. There are many varieties, and some are truly wonderful. For me, though, RJ's is the best tasting, most fun to eat licorice of them all. This licorice is impressively good. Yum Yum!

The BEST licorice in the whole world!Oct 19, 2009
By Oldma
"Nike"
RJ's licorice is, without a doubt, the BEST licorice around, and I've tried them all. The individual pieces are weighty and substantial in the hand. The stuff is tender to the feel, with just the right amount of give between the fingers to let you know what you are in for when you take that first bite. And boy, is it good! The flavor blooms on the tongue, whether you chew or just roll it around, but the texture begs to be bitten. The taste is full, along with the aroma, and remains robust to the very end. I never tire of eating this stuff. I only stop because I think I probably should, and look forward to getting into the bag the next day, or at the least, a few hours later...I got a bag of RJ's that was so soft and tender that I downed all but a very few pieces in the first sitting, not too much to say that I was wild with delight over the experience. I went back to the market to buy some more. Over a few days the licorice loses just a touch of the original softness, but this doesn't detract from the flavor or the enjoyable bite. I store it in a plastic bag. And last, but certainly not the least important issue about RJ's- the ingredients are ALL natural-nothing artificial about this stuff, and no corn syrup-just the best of the best. Whoever worked this recipe out deserves every penny they can make off the stuff. Thank you to RJ's for bringing it to the world!

RJ's Natural Licorice definantly lives up to the hype. The texture is terrific. It's smooth and delicious! Wish I had another bag.
