In Finland liquorice milkvetch is found in the wild only in parts of the south-west of the country. In Europe the species is cultivated as a fodder plant. Liquorice milkvetch tastes rather sweet and a bit like liquorice, as its name suggests. Its scientific name glycyphyllos also refers to this sweet flavour - glyks means sweet and phyllos means leaves. However, the flavouring in factory-made liquorice usually come from sweet liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), which also belongs to the Pea family.
