## About
Before the meal, a small ritual: a tan tablet on the tongue, dissolving slowly into one long, mellow wave of licorice. These tablets are small, dense and unmistakably sweet, with the deep malt-and-anise flavor of true licorice root and no coating needed to make them palatable. They are warm tan throughout, flecked here and there with the coarser fiber of the root itself.Licorice root has been kept in apothecary stores since antiquity, found sealed in Egyptian tombs and listed in the earliest Chinese materia medica. DGL stands for deglycyrrhizinated: most of the glycyrrhizin, the compound behind licorice's classic sweetness, has been removed, since glycyrrhizin is generally best taken in smaller amounts over time.DetailsLicorice root from Mediterranean growers, with most of its glycyrrhizin removedPressed into a chewable base sweetened with nothing but the root itselfUncoated chewable tabletsHow to useChew one or two tablets, or hold them on the tongue to dissolve slowly, about twenty minutes before a meal.
