Licorice Extract from Shaya County

　　Xinjiang has a wide variety of licorice species that are distributed across a broad area, yielding the highest production in China. Shaya County in Xinjiang is located in the southwest of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, slightly southeast of the Aksu region. It features a continental warm temperate arid climate, with abundant light and heat resources, scarce rainfall, and large diurnal temperature variations. The licorice in Shaya County is primarily distributed in the poplar forests along both banks of the 220-kilometer Tarim River, covering a total area of 400,000 mu.

　　Product Features: The main varieties of licorice in Shaya County include swollen fruit licorice and yellow licorice. Licorice holds significant medicinal value and is also used in the food and tobacco industries. Its stems, leaves, and seeds serve as feed that is favored by cattle and sheep. Licorice and licorice extract are major export commodities of Xinjiang. In recent years, with the increased export volume of licorice powder and licorice cream, Shaya licorice remains naturally wild and free from any artificial contamination, making it especially popular in both domestic and international markets. Licorice extract (powder) is a processed traditional Chinese medicine extract derived from licorice. It appears as a brownish solid or powder, with a faint distinctive odor and a lasting, unique sweetness. As a mild medicinal substance, it offers low calories, high safety, non-toxicity, and strong healthcare benefits, and is used to treat bronchitis, pharyngitis, bronchial asthma, and chronic adrenocortical hypofunction.
