Nowadays, people pay more attention to special food. Many food videos transcend regions and time, allowing people to understand that there used to be so many delicious foods in the world, and also let everyone know that different regions have completely different food cultures.

Perhaps beyond a river or over a mountain, people's daily diet will be very different.

What I’m talking about next is about a metal material that can be drunk.

Gold, everyone knows metal very well.

As an expensive metal, gold can even be used as currency, and it is called an asset that can increase in value, allowing many wealthy people with an "investment" vision to invest in gold collections.

Glittering gold has never been cheap. Even a small gold transfer bead is priced at 100 yuan.

The ancient idiom "spend a fortune" shows that gold and silver are precious.

But for the wealthy, gold seems to be no longer limited to decorations and investment products. Many people regard gold as food.

I will find a dish studded with gold and silver in any restaurant with one Michelin star, but the way the gold and silver are produced is very thin and flimsy gold foil.

There is no problem eating the gold foil paper. When you lick it with your tongue, there is no trace of the gold foil paper.

It can be said that the function of this gold foil paper is to decorate and increase the value of the dishes.

There is a saying in China, "Swallowing gold kills oneself." Why do the rich now want to invest in gold to eat it?

Unexpectedly, committing suicide by swallowing gold means swallowing a whole piece of gold into the stomach. The gastrointestinal tract cannot bear the weight of the gold and cannot digest it. At that time, there was no cutting-edge medical technology and there was no way to operate to remove the gold. The only option was to let the person die.

Nowadays, both gold and silver processing technology and medical technology have been greatly improved.

We don’t consume gold directly. If we want to make gold into gold foil that humans can drink, we first need to make gold with a purity of 99.99%, and process it together to a thickness of one ten thousandth of a millimeter. It cannot be pinched directly by hand.

Gold foil paper, which is usually moved with medical tweezers.

If any of these are not qualified, people may experience discomfort after swallowing gold.

Therefore, edible gold foil is all very pure gold and very safe.

The craze for edible gold foil is not just popular in Western countries, even the Japanese love to use gold foil to match their food.

In those high-end Japanese dishes, gold foil is often used as a decoration, such as soup rice, ice cream, custom-made and other delicacies. Adding a little gold foil will immediately improve the taste of the food.

The wealthy diners in the West even prefer dazzling food.

Many high-end dessert shops release "gold desserts", which are expensive to make and have good color, flavor and taste.

This kind of dessert not only looks exquisite and beautiful, but it is also very expensive. One bite can cost tens of thousands of yuan.

How can you take two bites of such an expensive dessert?
