Without cutting knives people won’t be able to do any of their work. Starting from the vegetables to chicken everything should be cut into slices and should be used for preparation of dinner. There are varieties of knives available in the market, which help people in activities like cooking and hunting. Buck Knives are one of the famous brands of knives available in the market. These knives are mainly used by hunters, fishermen, campers, military and law enforcement agencies. They come with a lifetime guarantee. Most of us have an idea of using a pocket knife for daily needs like cutting fruits, vegetables etc.

Bench made Knives are used for daily needs, they can be closed and fit inside small pockets. Most of the people take these knives in their pockets. Bench made knives are also used for hunting purposes. Most of these sharp knives are usually preferred by fishermen. People who are looking for fine, sturdy, and rugged quality knives can prefer Gerber knives. These knives possess stainless steel blades which do not get rusted easily and work for long duration. Some of the blades used for these knives are coated with titanium to protect them from getting blunt.

For over 35 years, All Clad cookware has been a name you can trust in metal cooking items. Each piece of bonded cookware is hand inspected to ensure the highest level of quality. Because the raw materials that are used are critical to defining the properties of each piece, All-Clad metallurgists specify the metal formulations down to the chemical composition and microstructure. And because quality always takes precedence over convenience, the metals are formulated for optimal cooking performance and not for ease of manufacturing. Every detail receives critical attention. The signature stay-cool handle is cast from solid stainless steel, and is ergonomically-designed for comfort during long cooking sessions. The stainless steel rivets are specially treated to remove trace elements of iron that could otherwise cause corrosion.

Le Creuset cookware is another fine maker of quality kitchen items. Their pieces have been called the best enameled cast iron cookware on the market today. The heavy cast iron core extends up the side walls and allows for excellent heat conductivity. Because the base, side walls and lid are all of the same quality and thickness there are no areas where heat can be lost rapidly. Shun knives make for an ideal complement to your fine cookware, and you can find all of these products at great prices by shopping online.

When you go shopping for automatic coffee machines you will find out that there are many different varieties. In fact, there are usually so many options that you need to do some research before you decide to make a purchase.

First of all, you will want to decide between machines and automatic coffee centers. The difference isn’t large but it certainly is worth checking out to have an idea of what each system offers and what you need. All people are different and this goes along with their coffee drinking knees. You will find some who prefer the top of the line Jura Capreso espresso machines while there are others who simply don’t care much for coffee who are happy with the base model at the local store. It is quite shocking but coffee machines run in price from $10 to the thousands. This is a big difference and it is worth keeping around..

1. If you bring one to me…dont worry about smooshing it… I’m sure I’ll love it. (actually put them in or on a plastic cake lid then put the bottom part on top.)
2. I like to get the plastic containers made by Glad or Ziplock that are about 9 x 13 and 2 inches deep. One of those will hold 15 or more cupcakes and is fairly rigid-sided. And cheap enough that you can give it away as part of the gift. Just make sure that the coconut is fairly thick so that the icing does not stick to the top of container.
3. extra wide, but short drinking glass with a lid.
   stick toothpicks into the cupcake, bracing it so the toothpicks prevent the cupcake from touching the sides of the glass from any angle.
   icing and shredded coconut will help hide the tiny toothpick holes in the cupcake.
   good luck.
4. They have conatainers at Micaels/AC Moore that are made to hold cupcakes. You can also switch out the inside for it to hold a sheet cake. It comes with a secured top and handles. If that’s not possible, put them in a large tupperware bin so they’re tightly packed and can’t move. Good Luck!
5. Well I have these special containers called cup-a-cake! I got them from gooseberry patch and I just love them! They are designed for lunchboxes, but I’m sure you can use them for this. You can buy them on they catalog’s website.
6. How are you planning on traveling? By car or aircraft?

   There are several ways I could see doing this and having a ok outcome.

   Buy or reuse a chunk of styrofoam about 1 inch in thickness. Cut it to fit inside a tupperwear container use a cupcake liner and trace around it several times on the foam spaced apart well. Cut with a knife or exacto and place each cupcake in the newly created cupcake insert. Another option is to do this same thing only with cardboard instead. (like the drying rack you make out of the easter egg dye box)

   The nice thing about this is that you can wrap your cupcake holder in pretty wrapping paper so it looks festive, or paint it with water based paint for a little extra wow. Think chocolate cupcakes, with white coconut set on red paper for contrast.

   You can also make a origami box to put them in with thick paper http://www.wackykids.org/origami_box.htm or little origami boxes for each cup cake and but that in a large box.

   And the final option is something like they use for comercial cupcakes, just a simple plastic container. (Buy some cookies that are marked down to get one, scrub the lable off of it or make your own lable to cover it, but if you go this route, put some red or gold doilies on the bottom of it to make it look pretty and extra special! A sprig of plasic holly leaf under a bright bow on top makes it a pretty holiday gift.

   Finally you might think about putting the coconut on after you get where you are going in order to keep it on the cupcake and not all over the container, and if you are traveling by air check with the TSA website to make sure that frosting can be carried on board. If not you will have to check the frosting and coconut and frost them at your destination.
   http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p…
   It shoudn’t be a problem, but I would hate to see them tossed because of frosting.

7. You can go to Michale’s craft supply , they have boxes that you can pack the cupcakes in really does the job..
   If not you can get a deep tray line the cup cakes in and make a foil dome cover…
   Also your nearest supermarket may have a convenient cup cake rubber maid carrier…
   I love cup cakes they are so much fun …and easy to prepare ho[e this helps~~
8. put them back in the muffin tin you cooked them in and turn another tin over on top. wait... open that back up, pipe the frosting on them, and sprinkle with coconut. now cover with the other tin. use bulldog clips (those black metal things with the silver "handles" on them) to hold everything tight. make sure you have a knife (plastic is good) to help take them out.
9. Several stores sell carrying cases for cupcakes. I've seen them in Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart, A.C. Moore, Michael's Crafts, Kohls, everywhere! I think it's one of the greatest inventions ever - I use mine ALL the time! The one I have comes with a cupcake tin to bake them in. Then you can add another tier to it with a plastic carrier and then snap the lid on over the two tiers to secure them. It's wonderful! Good luck!

   Here's a link to the one I have - http://www.lnt.com/sm-onieda-24-cupcake-...

10. For traveling put them back into cupcake pans and over-wrap lightly with foil so frosting doesn't stick too bad. A gift box of cupcakes, separated by tissue paper, would be attractive and adequately separated.. I'll await your call with time and place. OOPS! Wife says no! Merry Christmas!
11. I recently saw this contraption while browsing Crate & Barrel....

    http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.asp...

12. My godmom is actually a baker (whiskiebits.com. She has some really exotic and yummy flavors =]). However, her cupcakes are relatively small in size so she can fit them into empty egg cartons. Depending on how big your cupcakes are, empty egg cartons are a REALLY good idea. =] My godmom has her own Whiskie Bits boxes and she lines them with egg cartons that she’s cut up (about 6 holes each) and this is how she packs them to go at a bake sale.
    If your cupcakes are kind of big, get a large container that’s relatively deep and just pack them in sort of close to each other to prevent much too much movement. Usually, if my godmom’s doing weddings, she’ll line these large containers with egg cartons too.
13. At Bed Bath and Beyond they have these single cupcake containers. They were less than $2.00They are shaped like a cupcake. Or for large amounts of cupcakes they make cake carriers with cupcake inserts.
14. They sell tin cake pans with lids in all sizes perfect for traveling or gift giving at food stores. They are inexpensive and some are decorated for holidays.
15. You should be able to find small plastic containers made to house cupcakes safely, and the plastic will be secure enough so they dont smash and the cupcakes will still be pretty and yummy (dont forget to send one this way)
16. I pack four lunches a day and my kids love cupcakes so I have come up with some interesting ways to pack them for lunches that may help with your “travel” needs.

    First, do not put the icing on the top. Instead slice the cupcake’s muffin top off and put a layer of frosting just under it. Replace the top and put it in a Ziploc baggie. The icing does not get all over and tastes just as good. Not as pretty however.

    Second, and this is the little ones favorite. Instead of frosting it yourself just pop the cupcake into a Ziploc baggie. Use another baggie - snack size if you have it - to put the icing in. Kids can rip off a tiny corner of the icing baggie and use it as a decorating/piping bag and ice their own. (you might want to let them try this at home once dirst so that they are not clueless the first time at school.) You can put the coconut or for an extra special treat add a few sprinkles to the baggie with the cupcake in it (the sprinkles will not stick to the cupcake without the icing.). After the cupcake is iced, the kiddo will add the sprinkles.

17. Tupperware makes a Rectangular Cake Taker that safely transports any single/double layer cake 9″ x 13″ or, if you flip over the bottom there are recessed holders for up to 18 cupcakes. Has sealer top also. A little pricey but worth it if you bake a lot and considering Tupperware is practically indestructible — $44.00. Call :
18. I recently had to transport cupcakes and didn’t want to go out and buy one of the plastic containers. I also knew that leaving them in the original tin which I baked them in would ruin the frosting so I ended up using a 9″ x 12″ baking pan and just covered the top with foil. The 15 cupcakes got there undamaged.
19. My local cupcake store has different size boxes (like donut boxes) that hold from 2 up to 12. They put a dollop of frosting on the bottom of the box and put the cupcake directly on the dollop. This keeps it from sliding. Then they take parchment paper and fold it and use these as protectors between each cupcake (mainly to keep different types from touching each other). I have traveled up to 3 hours with a box of cupcakes in the car and they were perfect when I arrived.
20. This is going to sound a little odd,
    but, if you make smaller cupcakes,
    then you can put them in egg crates
    (cardboard works better than foam)!
    You don’t even have to cover the cupcakes,
    but, naturally, don’t re-use any egg carton in which
    an egg has been broken,
    due to the possibility of salmonella contamination
    (don’t wash it, either!).

    Not only will the cupcakes be well-protected,
    but you’ll help to recycle the egg crate,
    and the smaller pastries will go much further
    (some people go by quantity, not overall size;
    i.e., to some, one little cupcake is the same as a big one!),
    and even help reduce overall sugar intake
    (unless, of course, some wise guy realizes that,
    and eats two or more of the little ones
    to make up for the one big one he/she is used to having!).

    Don’t gift wrap the crates, because people won’t realize how fragile the contents are, until it’s too late! Of course, the egg crate, alone, is a bit of a curiosity and people will take extra care with it!

    I’ve done it (I always save good egg cartons for such), and always get kudos on the novel idea! Needless to say, the cupcakes don’t last long! People can’t resist a gimmick!

1. has she seen your Dorm..?
2. Pick up some Chinese.
3. location would help to answer
4. that really depends on where you live.. because if its still nice outside where you are then go to the beach or something! =P
   have fun.
5. Strawberries, champagne, and chocolate…. who needs real lunch food? LOL
6. local park, train ride to a lake, beach
   sandwiches, fish and chips, hambergers, order maccas and go sumwere
   make sure u take forks and knifes and serviettes and a cake that u baked from scratch

   sunset is good, if your on a hill under a nice tree
   just find a place nearby that looks like it came off a movie set.

7. Pack a basket… fill it with watermelon pieces, and strawberries, sandwiches, small cakes or something like that. just light foods,
8. Aww….the picnic. Lovely idea. I would suggest getting some cheese, bread, and a lunch meat. Then for desert chocolate cake. If you are of age, then a nice Riesling will make the occasion all the more better.
9. that is so cute. i will surly give you some advice. why dont other boys act like you. well try sandwitches,drinks,cookies………and make something atleat one dish.

grab a nice big blanket, if you have a laptop you can bring a movie to watch. For food, just get carry out right before you pick her up, from a nicer restaurant, like Chilis, or a BBQ place, Outback. Or go to the grocery store and get a few hot premade things from the main counter, like fried chicken, potato wedges, etc. If you really want to do sandwiches just get em from Subway or whatever………I am making these suggestions, because you live in a dorm I am assuming you don’t have a kitchen or a place to make things. Make sure you remember any utensils needed, and napkins! I would bring music if you aren’t bringing a movie. But whatever works, she will love the idea no matter what you do! If it could be cold bring an extra blanket so you can snuggle up a bit. I would top everything off with some kind of little easy-to-eat desert……like chocolate covered strawberries. I just think that would really impress me if a guy thought about the details, ya know? Good luck

10. box of fried chicken from the deli,
    potato salad from the deli,
    fresh seedless grapes,
    iced tea
11. Get a loaf of bread, a block of cheese, a small salami or some pate, a bottle of wine or some beers, pre-made tub of salad, olives or pickles, something sweet for dessert.

    Bring something to sit on like a table cloth, silverware, bottle opener, or at least a knife.

    Bring a deck of cards or frisbee in case you get bored.

12. I am assuming you are on a college budget. Buy some lavash bread or Flat Out wraps, spread some cream cheese on it, and put some ham or turkey on it(cheese if she is a vegetarian). Roll them, refridgerate, and slice into 1 1/4 pieces. Place them in tupperware. Add some strawberries and other fruit to another tupperware. Cool-whip is optional.
    In your backpack, bring a blanket, napkins, something fun to drink, and cups.
13. If you want to be really romantic, make your dorm up into this romantic setting, that is if your roommate is cool about it. Have candles and flowers everywhere (make sure the room is clean first, lol), by a checkered red cloth and put it in the middle of the room and get HER favorite food AND desert, put in a basket and have wine, or sparkling cider, etc. Have some soothing romantic music playing in the background, however; this suggestion is you guys have been going out for a while and are comfortable with each other. But if you guys are just starting to go out, then do it on a beach (Major points), or in a public garden that has the romantic vibe to it, and again, get stuff SHE likes. Get her favorite flowers and bring a radio to have some romantic soothing music and there you have your picnic. Have fun and enjoy yourselves.
14. It seems you are very well covered with suggestions. Before you make your decision about what to take … is the girl sophisticated or a perennial prom queen (non stop giggling) Once decided … proceed with the many good suggestions that have been made. Since you probably can’t cook in a dorm room … find a good deli and ask them for advice … In fact, they might even put it all together for you … food & drink … complete with silverware, glasses and napkins. .. that is, if you’ve not spent you monthly allowance, Have a good time and don’t forget the condoms.
15. A good loaf of bakery bread, some pre-sliced cheese and a bottle of wine. Don’t forget the glasses!
16. Keep it simple. If you are old enough to buy wine, get something generic like a Chardonnay (white, not sweet) or Riesling (sweeter white). You can pick one up on the cheap. If your aren’t old enough or don’t drink, sparkling cider is always a good choice. For food, cut some pears and apples, fresh deli turkey or carved chicken, flavored cream cheese and some small pre-sliced bread or crackers. Feed it to each other and try different combinations of the above food. For dessert, small muffins or share a slice of cheesecake. You can do this on a blanket on your dorm floor or at the beach or under a tree on campus. This one works everywhere. Sneak in a few kisses in between. Besides the picnic, make sure to tell her how pretty she is or that she smells good. Women LOVE compliments!

1. First u make all the layers of cake in cake pans then let them cool and put one piece of cake on a cake plate or something then put icing or jam on the top then put the second piece on an so on and so forth. its easy

2. Put 2 or more layers on top of each other and secure them with jam or icing and then ice the whole thing on the outside and top

3. Well it’s pretty much the same as making a regular cake (if I’m not mistaken) You should start off by just baking the separate layers….then do whatever you do with your regular cakes, then stack!

If all else fails: Recipe, or Betty Crocker Bake N’ Fill!

**theres also this website called www.allrecipes.com it can give you tons of recipes for anything!**

9. Cool cakes in pans on wire racks 10 minutes.

10. Remove cakes from pans and cool thoroughly on wire racks.

11. Frost with desired frosting.

FROSTING

Ingredients:
2 c. sugar
1/4 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. plus 1 tbsp. half-and-half (more as needed)
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/8 tsp. salt
6 oz. finely chopped semisweet chocolate squares
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Steps:
1. Combine sugar, corn syrup, half-and-half, heavy cream and salt in a large saucepan.

2. Stir mixture over low heat about 5 minutes, until sugar is dissolved.

3. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.

4. Dip a pastry brush in warm water and brush the sides of the saucepan down. Remove saucepan from heat.

5. Stir in semisweet chocolate until mixture is smooth and chocolate has melted.

6. Brush down the sides of the saucepan again with the wet pastry brush and place the pan over medium heat. Cook, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 238 degrees F on a candy thermometer.

7. Remove pan from heat.

8. Add, without stirring, butter and vanilla.

9. Place the saucepan in a larger pan that contains cold water and cool the mixture to 110 degrees F.

10. When cool, stir it with a wooden spoon until it begins to lose its sheen.
11. Add remaining 1 tbsp. half-and-half and beat mixture until it is just blended.

12. Scrape down the sides of the pan with a rubber spatula. Let stand and stiffen for 5 minutes. Then, if necessary, adjust the consistency of the frosting by stirring in half-and-half 1 tsp. at a time until it is spreadable.

13. Use immediately or cover the surface of the frosting with plastic wrap.

The frosting will keep about one week at room temperature, three weeks in the refrigerator or up to six months in the freezer. Stir to soften the frosting before using.

11. make the cakes in two round pans.bake.let cool.then lay them down on two surfaces and cut the tops off to make them sit level.otherwise ur cake will crack in the middle.then put frosting on top og one.and lay the other on top and then frost it like u would any other cake.

12. you will need 2 round cake Pan’s line with wax paper or you can lightly grease and flour bottom and sprinkle lightly with sugar or use Pam cooking spray then mix up your boxed cake mix any flavor you want divide evenly the mix between the 2 round pans follow direction for baking i am sure it is 350 degrees preheat oven first and bake for 25 to 30 minutes check cake with toothpick in the middle to make sure cake is completely done.. remove from oven and let cake cool in Pan’s first then put one round cake form on a plate and put your favorite filling and add top round layer and frost it with your tastety frosting and enjoy with a glass of milk tea or coffee or ice cream on the side top cake with favorite sprinkle to add the bakers touch

14. Ok, let’s say you want to make a circle layer cake, although it is possible to make a square. So just substitute in whatever shape you want. First you mix up batter for however many layers you want (2 cake mixes for 2 layers, etc…). You then pour an equal amount into same shaped and sized pans and cook them. If you want 3 layers and only have 2 circle pans, for instance, you will have to wait until you cook the first two and take one out, then cook the second one. Once all the cakes are baked (according to the package directions), take them out of their pans after cooling them for about 1 hour. If the cakes are rounded on top, cut the rounded part off on all but one of them. Set aside the one whose top you do not cut off. Then put frosting on the top of the layers whose tops you cut off. Put one layer (with the cut-off top) on top of the other until you only have the round-topped cake left. Put that one on top. Then you frost the cake on top and all around the sides, and you’re done

15. Just bake some cakes and layer them by putting whipped creams or fruits between them. simple!!!

16. the best way is to get to seperate baking pans and make both cakes seperately after they are baked let them cool and then put one on top of the other frosting one of the top of the cakes first or if you dont want to do it that way bake one cake only and when cooled slice it in half

17. First decide what kind of layer cake u want. Then u go to the bakery and see if they have the one u want. Then u buy the layer cake and take it home. Take it out of the box. Throw the box away and there u are. U just make a layer cake. Taste good doesn’t it. Oh! Soooooooooooooooooo good!

18. get two short round bake pans…bake 2 cakes (only 2 or 2 inches) in them, put them on top of each other with frosting in the middle! Make sure the cake is completely cooled before you frost it.

19. A layer cake is a cake with more than one layer. You can bake the cake of different colours usually in different round or square pans. You cannot have both types. It has to be all round pans or all square pans of the same size. After the cake is baked, you let it cool and put them one of top of the other. People use that style a lot with Wedding cakes. If you are making a special design, you can use different shapes and sizes of pans.

20. Just make cakes about 3 inches thick, let them cool, put one layer on a plate, frost the top and so on until you get to the top of the cake then cover the whole thing in icing.

21. First you start with one layer, coat it with icing, then next layer, ice it, then next layer, ice it, then next layer, ice it, then next layer, ice it, then next layer, ice it and so on and so on and so on………………

22. Make 2 or more regular cakes and put them on top of each other when finished with the baking. Make them different sizes if you like

23. Okay, say you’re making a 7-layer German chocolate cake:
You bake each of the layers individually, using less batter than you would in a traditional 2-layer cake and let them cool like normal. Carefully removing them from their pans, you ice the first one, then layer another uniced cake on top of it, and ice it. Continue until you have all 7 layers iced on top, then ice around the sides, and smooth out the top. let it cool a little longer (giving the icing time to set) grab a fork, and have at it.

24. What ever you do don’t cook with paper towels inside the cake. My grandmother did that to my mom’s wedding cake.
The person above me here seems like she’s got the right idea!!

25. Take the cake mix (or batter if you’ve made it yourself), and pour it into several cake pans of differing sizes.

Bake them, and let them sit for a while, and take them out of the pans.

Make sure they’re even; you might have to slice the tops of of some of them to keep them flat.

Ice them, (or use fondant), and stack them on top of each other.

26. make multiple layers (how ever many you want) in a relatively small pan…then cover one in frosting, place another layer on top of it and cover it with frosting and continue until you run out of layers

or follow this recipe:

For cake layers

Preheat oven to 300°F. and grease pans. Line bottoms with rounds of wax paper and grease paper.
Finely chop chocolate and in a bowl combine with hot coffee. Let mixture stand, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.

Into a large bowl sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl with an electric mixer beat eggs until thickened slightly and lemon colored (about 3 minutes with a standing mixer or 5 minutes with a hand-held mixer). Slowly add oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and melted chocolate mixture to eggs, beating until combined well. Add sugar mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined well. Divide batter between pans and bake in middle of oven until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Cool layers completely in pans on racks. Run a thin knife around edges of pans and invert layers onto racks. Carefully remove wax paper and cool layers completely. Cake layers may be made 1 day ahead and kept, wrapped well in plastic wrap, at room temperature.

Make frosting:
Finely chop chocolate. In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan bring cream, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil over moderately low heat, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and add chocolate, whisking until chocolate is melted. Cut butter into pieces and add to frosting, whisking until smooth.

Transfer frosting to a bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, until spreadable (depending on chocolate used, it may be necessary to chill frosting to spreadable consistency).

Spread frosting between cake layers and over top and sides. Cake keeps, covered and chilled, 3 days. Bring cake to room temperature before serving

A unique combination of geography, natural irrigation and atmospheric conditions creates a habitat on the Big Island of Hawaii ideal for the cultivation of raw honey. Beekeepers have harvested excellent honey from the islands for some time, with nearly a million pounds of honey coming from the area known as the Puako Forest annually. But in recent years, particular attention to selection of the raw honey results in a product that is literally unrivalled in its purity, texture and overall taste.

For some, it may be enough that this tropical honey comes only from a small section of a very special part of the world. That alone would separate it, in quality and taste, from much of the honey produced around the globe. But beginning with an exquisite raw honey just may not be sufficient to get this special condiment to those who appreciate its organic purity. Something else is necessary - meticulous attention to detail during the entire post-harvest process.

Harvesting Kiawe honey involves timing, a factor critical in most honey processes. Raw honey taken too early may ferment in the jar, but if it is taken too late it crystallizes in the comb. If the honey is handpicked at just the correct time, and put into containers correctly, it will manifest a superior white, smooth texture in just a few days.

Taking the combs at just the right moment would be enough to separate the final product from other honey. Yet there is one more step to consider, or in this case, a step to leave out. Raw Kiawe honey is a living food. Experienced producers know that cold-bottling honey retains its wonderful texture and preserves healthy, natural enzymes. While leaving heat out of the process produces an ideal tropical honey, the viscosity (thickness) does slow down processing, again contributing to the rarity of the finished product.

Connoisseurs know there are some excellent raw honey sources around the world, and that fine honey is available on every continent. But if you are looking for the best in unique Hawaiian Gifts this holiday season a growing number of aficionados consider Kiawe tropical honey from the Big Island of Hawaii to be a natural treasure with few, if any, culinary peers.

Vegetarians do not eat meat, and depending upon their morals or preferences, may or may not eat eggs or dairy. Most commonly, they do eat eggs and dairy.

Vegans do not consume, use, or buy any product derived from animals, including eggs, milk, honey, leather, wool, beeswax, and anything dyed red, in case it’s an insect based dye.

Nutritionally, the only difference is that vegans need to take a B12 and amino acid supplement, since they have no dietary source of these nutrients.

You can get all the nutrients you need on a lacto-ovo (eggs and milk) vegetarian diet without supplements.
