Some History
about Edible
Gold and Edible
Silver Leaf:
The difference
between edible
gold and regular
gold leaf if the
following.
Pure gold leaf
is 24 karat. In
it pure state it
is very soft and
delicate.
Therefore, it is
typically mixed
with other
alloys to create
different levels
of hardness and
to adjust the
color tone of
the leaf. That
is why most
jewelry is 18kt
or 22kt gold
(mixed with
copper, etc.)
because 24kt
gold is too soft
for daily wear
and tear. Gold
leaf is the same
principle.
Mostly mixed
with copper,
silver, etc. you
can get a wide
variety of
colors, ranging
from a slight
reddish tone, to
bright yellow,
to white gold.
The alloys mixed
in to create
these variances
are not edible
(like copper).
Edible gold is
almost pure
gold, but mixed
with silver
only, which is
edible, so it is
completely
digestible.
Edible Silver
leaf is also
available, and
we offer Edible
Silver in leaf
form and in
powder, or dust
form.
----
Generally
speaking, there
is no danger in
ingesting Edible
Gold. Gold is an
inert metal that
simply passes
through the
intestinal
system. Edible
Gold will pass
out of the body
after about 24
hours unchanged
without causing
any harm or
reaction on the
body.
----
The Europeans
have a very old
tradition in
using Edible
Gold on Food.
Italian Dukes
and Earls used
to decorate
their risotto
with Edible Gold
leaves in the 16th
century (Risotto
Recipe -
Risotto d’oro con
basilica e
parmagiano
– available,
along with many
other recipes,
upon request).
Alchemists of
the 15th century
used gold
medicinally.
Sweets covered
in Edible Gold
were served
during afternoon
meals to sustain
the health of
their hearts.
The Elizabethans
created
sumptuous
banquets by
adding Edible
Gold Dust to
their table on
fruits such as
oranges, grapes,
pomegranates and
dates and figs.
The Japanese
have been adding
Edible Gold to
foods and even
to their sake
for centuries.
----
Where as the
Europeans use
22kt gold
leaves, we offer
a special 23kt
Edible Gold
product, higher
in purity and
quality,
exclusively to
the US market.
Our Edible Gold
Leaf consists of
nearly 96% pure
genuine Gold
mixed with a
small amount of
Silver, which is
edible as well.
There are no
other components
in our Gold
leaf.
----
The alloy that
was used for the
flame of the
‘Statue of
Liberty’ is of
equivalent alloy
as used for
Edible Gold. The
gilded flame has
resisted all
kinds of weather
for many years
without showing
reaction on the
monument.
----
According to the
European
Regulations,
there is no
limit to the
quantity of
Edible Gold that
can be ingested
(Quantum Satis),
however, the
idea is to
impress ones
eyes and not
fill your
stomach with
Edible Gold
Leaf.

About Pareve -
When a food item
is kosher, it
doesn't mean it
was blessed by a
Rabbi, as is
commonly
thought. It
means that it
was prepared
according to the
strict kosher
dietary laws,
some of which
include not
mixing meat food
items with dairy
food items (when
something is "pareve,"
that means it
contains neither
dairy nor meat),
not eating
products of
non-kosher
animals or
animals that
were not
ritually
slaughtered, and
not eating any
shellfish. Not
only does the
food need to be
kosher in order
to conform to
dietary laws,
but the vessels
and utensils
used in
preparing them
need to be
kosher as well.
