'''Root beer''', also known as sarsaparilla, is a [[carbonated beverage]] originally brewed using [[sassafras]]. Root beer, popularized in North America, comes in two forms: [[fermentation (food)|alcoholic]] and [[soft drink]]. The historical root beer was analagous to [[small beer]], in that the process provided a beverage with a very low alcohol content. |
|||
==Ingredients== |
|||
Although the ingredients in root beer used to come from the extract of sarsaparilla, today artificial flavors are normally utilized, along with benzoate anions to inhibit microbial growth and [[EDTA]] as an [[antioxidant]] to protect the flavor. |
