Sassafras root is still used to flavor traditional root beer, although since sassafras was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because of the carcinogenicity of its constituent safrole, most commercial recipes do not contain sassafras. Some commercial root beers do use a safrole-free sassafras extract.
Base Malts. Base malts traditionally serve as the foundation for beer recipes. Each base malt has its own unique character and flavor.
