Shellac is a natural resin that comes from tiny insects harvested off tree branches in India. Indians have valued the bug for 3,000 years for its versatility. Once processed and melted, shellac can be used as a powerful red dye, a glossy wood finisher, and a shiny coating to citrus fruit and candies such as jelly beans, Whoppers, and Junior Mints. But the farmers who have depended on these miniature bugs for generations say their crops are at risk. | Insider Science

Do you know what shellac is? It's often used to coat sweet treats to give them a shine but shellac is actually obtained from the secretion of the female Lac insect, it is harvested from the bark of the trees where she deposits it to provide a sticky hold on the trunk. Many people are really not keen on that idea. We have loads of amazing treats, totally free from shellac and plenty of these are also fully vegan. Pop in for a bug free treat!!! 🪲🪲🪲🪲 | Ellen Hinton
