Egg as food. Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and fish, and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years. Bird and reptile eggs consist of a protective eggshell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk), contained within various thin membranes.
Licorice root is the common name for Glycyrrhiza glabra. The term Glycyrrhiza means sweet root in Greek. Glabra means smooth, referring to the smooth pods of the plant.
Its botanical name is Glycyrrhiza glabra. The word Glycyrrhiza is derived from the Greek term glykos (meaning sweet) and rhiza (meaning root) and hence the name given to this âsweet rootâ. Similarly, in the Ayurvedic materia medica it is called Yashti (wood) Madhu (honey), or honey-like wood.
