Turkey, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan.
The roots of the plant are of high value because of their richly
flavoured and sweet odour. The plant has got its name Glycyrrhiza glabra due to
the presence of glycyrrhizin, which is a natural compound responsible for the

‘rhiza’ which means root and refers to the very sweet-tasting root. In Chinese
medicine system, it is known as a “peacemaker”. The herb is currently cultivated

stolon from liquorice plant is gathered and cut into pieces, which gives
commercial liquorice. The roots may be unpeeled or peeled that on breaking
reveals yellow coloured interior and sweet smell.
Traditionally it was used for rejuvenation, managing jaundice
and other ailments in China and Egypt. It was also used as an expectorant.
