Choosing liquorice starts with a simple question: what are you in the mood for? A sweet liquorice flavour, a salty note or a crunchy coating? Look beyond the shape and read the description.
A closer look at three kinds of liquorice
Take a closer look at sweet liquorice bears, salty herbal liquorice leaves and colourful coated liquorice. Compare their shapes and textures as well as their flavours. Which one would you choose for your next treat?
Sweet liquorice bears, salty herbal liquorice leaves and colourful coated liquorice in three bowls.
Our sugar-free liquorice bears, Zoete Beren Drop Suikervrij, are described as firm and sweet. The sugar-free herbal liquorice leaves, Kruidenblaadjes Drop Suikervrij, are described as firm and salty, with liquorice, salmiak and liquorice root notes. These give you two specific products to compare.
Think about texture too
Flavour is only part of the choice. Venco Kleurendrop has a crunchy coating and a firm liquorice centre. This offers a different eating experience from uncoated liquorice. Choose a texture you enjoy as well as a sweet or salty flavour.
Check the product you choose
A sweet taste does not automatically mean a product contains sugar. Always check the ingredients and nutrition information. The product information for the sugar-free bears and herbal leaves mentioned here warns that excessive consumption may produce laxative effects.
