The glitter of gold and expensive stones is fashionable not only in clothes and accessories. Even in cooking, dishes decorated with real gold are in trend. Are such gastronomic experiments edible?
Liquid gold is used in cooking, and chefs around the world are trying to highlight their dishes with this expensive decor.
Even in ancient Egypt, gold was used, considering it a “sacred” ingredient. Therefore, the statement that fashion is constantly returning is relevant here as well. Liquid culinary gold has a fineness of 23-24 carats and has the E175 code in the gradation of food additives. For digestion, this ingredient does not pose any danger, it enhances immunity and destroys bacteria. But in the preparation and decoration of food, it is imperative to maintain a balance and strictly control the amount of gold in dishes. The accumulation of gold in the liver, kidneys and other internal organs can cause a number of symptoms and dangerous chronic diseases.
Gold has no taste or smell, so it is not at all necessary to chase gold fashion.
