What is confectioners gelatin?
Confectioner's glaze is a clear, all-natural coating used to
protect the quality and taste of mostly candy items. It is used to
seal the candies from air and moisture.
The confectioners glaze is food-grade, wax-free natural "Lac."
Lac is the generic name of the natural resin gathered by the Lac
beetle that thrives on various host trees and shrubs in India,
Burma, Indochina, and Siam. The Lac beetle converts the sap of the
trees into resin. It is very similar to a bee's production of honey
and is called "transferred nectar." The Lac resin is collected,
crushed, washed, dried, and made into pure food glaze. The Lac
beetle is not harmed in any way.
