Mulethi root, known in English as liquorice root or sweet root, has held a place of reverence in traditional medicine and culinary practice across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe for over four thousand years. The dried root sticks of Glycyrrhiza glabra — the plant from which mulethi is derived — carry a naturally sweet, earthy, slightly anise-flavoured character that comes from glycyrrhizin, a compound found within the root that is many times sweeter than sugar. Lioncroft's Mulethi Whole root pieces are carefully dried and selected to ensure the full, authentic flavour and medicinal quality that traditional use demands.

Whole mulethi root is traditionally steeped in hot water to make a soothing herbal tea, or combined with other Ayurvedic herbs in kadha preparations designed to support respiratory health, soothe sore throats, and strengthen the immune system. The roots can also be chewed directly — a practice with a long history in both Indian and Middle Eastern cultures as a natural way to freshen breath and support digestive function. In culinary applications, whole mulethi is used to infuse broths, sweet syrups, and spiced drinks with its characteristic sweetness. It is a key ingredient in many Ayurvedic churna formulations and herbal preparations. Lioncroft's Whole Mulethi brings this ancient, multi-purpose root to your home with the quality and integrity it deserves.
