Flour,Licorice,Salmiac,Water, Salt,Coloring 2" x 2" Lhati It’s something about the flour content that makes this licorice most memorable. Created in 1951 by a chemist couple in Helsinki the name derives from a combination of the neighborhood Haaga they were working in and ‘Numero Uno’… cool chemists. For reasons I am unsure they set out to create a licorice without any gum arabic or gelatin, this feature makes their licorice unique. It tastes slightly salty but lacks the bite that many other licorices have. In the early 90’s their company started manufacturing liquid salmiac; it was used in a Salmiakkikoskenkorva (licorice vodka) until it was banned as it became too popular in a country with a huge drinking population, too much can be enough! Originally the licorice was sold in bulk to pharmacies as a remedy for cough and hoarseness, it still is sold and repacked by pharmacies in small white bags but the red box is even more common throughout Finland.
