licorice
Chewy fennel treat
Licorice is a plant whose root yields a distinctively sweet, slightly medicinal flavor used in candy and herbal remedies.
The word usually refers to the candy itself—black, chewy, and polarizing: I can't stand black licorice.
Red licorice is fruit-flavored candy in the same rope or twist shape, containing no actual licorice.
Also spelled liquorice in British English.
