You’ve probably eaten this at least once in your life, but do you know where it really comes from?

It all starts with bugs specifically, lac bugs that live on trees. These tiny creatures produce a thick, sticky mucus, which people collect by hand.

But it doesn’t stop there. The mucus is crushed, cleaned, and dried. Then, under intense heat, it melts and oozes out before being spread thin and dried again.

Once it hardens and is broken into pieces, it transforms into shellac, a substance used to coat food, pills, and even furniture.

So, the next time you see a shiny apple or a glossy pill, just remember it might be thanks to bug mucus!
