Egg scrambled with acidic fruit juices were popular in France in the 17th century; this may have been the origin of lemon curd. The dried egg industry developed in the 19th century, before the rise of the frozen egg industry.
Glycyrrhiza is a genus of about 20 accepted species in the legume family , with a subcosmopolitan distribution in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. The genus is best known for liquorice (British English; licorice in American English), G. glabra, a species native to Eurasia and North Africa, from which most confectionery liquorice is produced.
The Greeks named it glycyrrhiza, meaning sweet root, and it has been cultivated in England since at least the 16th century. Licorice is known as a tonic herb, because it has so many uses in healing. It has been used as a soothing demulcent, a gentle hormone balancer and a support to the adrenal glands.
