"When I was a kid I loved licorice because it was so much fun to eat. I loved the chewy texture, and you could stretch it and tie it in knots, or bite off the ends and blow through it", said Nell Newman, co-founder and president of Newman's Own Organics. "Now I can enjoy our own tasty organic version of my favorite childhood candy! It's also a great treat for the movies, as it's much quieter to eat then popcorn," The five ounce package is great for keeping in your desk at work, having as a snack at home, in your car while doing errands, or out hiking. The smaller package is also a good economic choice. Health conscious consumers will appreciate that the rich tasting candy is low in fat, sodium and cholesterol free, and contains no trans-fat.
