Bugün öğrendim ki: Sert Şeker genellikle 'lac' böceğinin reçine benzeri bir yan ürünü olan "Shellac" ile kaplanır.
Surely, something you use to coat and protect wood can't be put on jelly beans. Oh, but it can. Natural shellac, when it comes right down to it, is edible. No, I do not mean you should dip a finger into a can of shellac from the hardware store and give it a [taste](https://culinarylore.com/food-science:whats-the-difference-between-taste- and-flavor/ "taste") test. The shellac we use on wood doesn't really bear much resemblance to shellac used on food as the former may use solvents that are toxic or contain other chemicals and colorants. The shellac used to coat jelly beans and make them smooth and shiny is also called 'confectioner's glaze.' This is how you'll find it on the ingredient list. ![](https://i0.wp.com/culinarylore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/jelly-beans-closeup.jpg?resize=566,425
