Later, she clarified that she was only poking fun at the fact that everyone was clad in diamonds at the celebrations. However, her comment went viral online and started a discourse if gold was edible.
While the diva may have been cracking a joke, believe it or not, gold can be edible! Some restaurants and chefs specialise in ‘golden’ dishes!
While the bard may have warned that “Not all that glitters is gold.” However, there indeed are some incredible dishes that are literally worth their weight in gold!
Edible gold is made from 24-karat gold, ensuring it is entirely pure. To create the gold leaf, pure gold is heated to over 1,094 degrees Celsius until it melts and is then cast into a gold bar mold. This bar is subsequently rolled and pressed until it becomes extremely thin, reaching a thickness of about 0.0001 millimeters. The resulting gold leaf is almost transparent and exceptionally lightweight. It is available in various forms such as leaf, flakes, crumbs, and powder.
