			'''Liquorice''' ({{PronEng\|ˈlɪkərɪʃ}} {{respell\|LIK\|ə-rish}}),<ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/licorice Merriam-Webster Online: Licorice]</ref> also '''licorice''', is the root of '''''Glycyrrhiza glabra''''' from which a sweet flavour can be extracted. The liquorice plant is a [[legume]] (related to beans and [[pea]]s), native to southern Europe and parts of [[Asia]]. It is not related to [[Anise]], [[Star Anise]] or [[Fennel]], which are the source of <!-- Is "superficially" the best word to describe the similarities between these plants? -->superficially similar flavouring compounds. It is an [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant\|perennial]], growing to 1 m in height, with [[pinnate]] [[leaf\|leaves]] about 7–15 centimetres (3–6 in) long, with 9–17 leaflets. The [[flower]]s are 0.8–1.2 cm (½–⅓ in) long, purple to pale whitish blue, produced in a loose [[inflorescence]]. The [[fruit]] is an oblong [[legume\|pod]], 2–3 centimetres (1 in) long, containing several [[seed]]s.<ref name=rhs>Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. ISBN 0-333-47494-5</ref> The flavor of liquorice comes mainly from a sweet-tasting compound called [[anethole]] ("trans"-1-methoxy-4-(prop-1-enyl)benzene), an aromatic, unsaturated ether compound also found in anise, fennel, and other herbs. Additional sweetness in liquorice comes from [[glycyrrhizin]], a compound sweeter than [[sugar]].

			Excessive consumption of liquorice or liquorice candy is known to be [[Toxicity\|toxic]] to the [[liver]]<ref>[http://www.salisbury.edu/nursing/herbalremedies/Toxic%20herbs.htm ''The Nurse's Guide To Herbal Remedies'' from Salisbury University]</ref> and [[Circulatory system\|cardiovascular system]], and may produce [[hypertension]] <ref>[http://www.zuidencomm.nl/njm/getpdf.php?id=381 ''Liquorice and hypertension'' Editorial in The Netherlands Journal of Medicine, 2005]</ref> and [[oedema]].<ref>[http://www.umdnj.edu/umcweb/marketing_and_communications/publications/umdnj_magazine/hstate/wntr00/pulse/pulse7.htm ''A Guide to Medicinal and Aromatic Plants'' from Purdue University]</ref> The [[European Commission]] 2008 report suggested that “people should not consume any more than 100mg of [[glycyrrhizic acid]] a day, for it can raise [[blood pressure]] or cause muscle weakness, chronic fatigue, headaches or swelling, and lower testosterone levels in men.”
