 Maybe more important, if you do like the flavour, remember not to eat too much. Most people don’t know one can over dose on it and it’s extremely dangerous to do so as it causes a draining of potassium from one’s body. As a result, you’ll retain water to try to reduce sodium concentration and that can go really south on you. Everything in moderation. Admittedly, it takes a lot but I have seen it and it’s pretty crazy shit!

Are you a doctor by any chance? 
 No. Just watched it happen to someone giving up smoking and chewing liquorice to stave off cravings. Fortunately doctor was not too far away 
 Wow 😮 
Another reason to not eat it, not that I needed one but hey thanks. 
 I actually like it...... in small doses.
