Gum extracts
Cinnamon
Maple syrup
Cellulose
- food thickener
- milk shakes

- cake frosting
- pancake syrup
- cough syrup
- anti-caking ingredient in grated Parmesan cheese

Decomposers eat anything dead and once they are finished they put nutrients from the dead object or plant back into the ground to grow new plants.
