Gold leaf is sometimes used to decorate food or drink, typically to promote a perception of luxury and high value; however. It is occasionally found in desserts and confectionery, including chocolates, honey and mithai. It may be used effectively as a garnish, with thin sheets placed on a main dish, especially on festive occasions.
Gold qualities have been exploited by great chefs of the moment in our country as Carme Ruscalleda, Ferran Adrià, Dani Garcia, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Quique Dacosta or Elena Arzak.
They have discovered in gold (also in silver, and other metals) a luxurious ingredient to express their creativity by using foil, powder or flakes to make more suggestive meals.
But the use of these metals is nothing new, though have become fashionable recently. Egyptians and Romans used them in their culinary preparations.
The European Union publishes a list of allowed food additives accompanied by their corresponding identification codes. In this list various metals appear as food dyes: Gold (E-175) or silver (E-174).
Some experts agree that gold intake brings several benefits to the body, eliminating toxins and slowing the aging skin and produce no allergies. Gold or silver has no taste or flavour.
