While eating Indian sweets like barfi and all, have you ever noticed gold or silver coated on them and wondered is it edible, keep reading to know is it edible or not,
Let's know,
As you all might know gold is chemically inert. So, it will not be digested by the body and won't interact with other chemicals and compounds in dangerous way. The small amount of gold consumed by you will be eliminated by the body in the same form as it entered.
Silver is quite different than gold, because there are both ionic and non-ionic versions of this element. The non-ionic version of silver is inactive and cannot be absorbed by the body, making it edible.
However, the ionic version of the silver can be digested by the body which can potentially cause toxic reactions. Therefore, it is critical that you know the source of any silver leaf and ensure that it is of the highest possible quality.
