Banga Stick (Licorice Root)

Banga Sticks make a big difference in taste & aroma in Banga soup. This brown herbal stick is usually added towards the end of the soup-making process and left for 10 minutes to infuse the flavour into the soup. The sticks can be re-utilized for subsequent cooking. It is promoted as a dietary supplement for digestive problems, menopausal symptoms, cough, bacterial and viral infections. There are claims that it helps wean smokers off cigarettes.
