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 word âGlycyrrhizaâ is made from two Greek words: Glykys, meaning âsweetâ and Rhiza, meaning ârootâ. In India, the licorice root carries the ancient Sanskrit name of â Yastimadhu â (sweet-stalk) and has been a mainstay of Ayurvedic and other traditional medicines.
