Edible gold leaf is a gold product that can be used to decorate food. In candy making, it is often used to cover whole candies like chocolates or truffles or applied sparingly as a small decorative touch. Edible gold leaf is also used in other dessert decorations, from a few speckles on top of a cupcake to covering an entire cake with gold leaf.
Is Gold Leaf Really Edible?
In most cases, yes. Gold is considered "biologically inert," meaning it passes through the digestive tract without being absorbed. When selecting gold leaf, make sure to get gold that is as pure as possible. This means it should be 22-24 carats. Gold leaf with a smaller carat value has more impurities and is less safe to eat. If you are careful and buy gold leaf that is clearly labeled as "edible" and has 22-24 carats, eating gold leaf is harmless.
