Resinous Glaze and the Nightshade Free Diet

Resinous glaze, often referred to as shellac, is a natural resin secreted by the female lac bug on trees in the forests of India and Thailand. It is harvested and processed to be used as a food glaze or coating, giving products a shiny, appealing finish. In the food industry, it is commonly used on confectionery items, fruits, and various pharmaceutical products. Despite its widespread use, resinous glaze is not considered vegan because it is an animal product.
