Licorice

Aniseed flavoured confectionery prepared from wheat flour, molasses or treacle, sugar, salt, vegetable oil, colours and flavours. Sold in pieces or strips.

The majority of nutrients including proximates, minerals, vitamins and fatty acids were derived from a composite sample of six purchases of licorice including 5 brands (1x Giant, 1x Luscious Licorice, 1x Lucky Boy, 2x Woolworths, 1x Molly Bushell) purchased in Adelaide in 1990 (AGAL 1990). Vitamin C was imputed based on international literature. Note low sum of proximates - data should be used with caution.
