edible gold
Luxurious food decoration
Edible gold is gold processed into forms safe for human consumption—typically thin sheets (gold leaf) or flakes used to decorate food and drinks.
It has no flavor and passes through the body undigested.
The appeal is purely aesthetic and symbolic: The dessert was topped with edible gold leaf.
It signals luxury and celebration, appearing on everything from wedding cakes to overpriced cocktails.
