Note about this food
Beeswax comes from the bee and not from a plant, which already settles most of this page: the salicylates, oxalates, fructans and polyols tracked here are all made by plants. In food it is a glazing agent on sweets and fruit and a carrier for flavours, applied as a thin surface film. Chemically it is a mixture of long-chain esters and fatty acids, with no carbohydrate and no free amino acid in it.
