The famous sundae is made with luxurious Caribbean cocoa beans, exotic fruits, fresh passion fruits, and of course…gold. The sundae features a 24 karot gold leaf topping. However unique this sundae may be, it is not the only edible gold food. Did you know that gold is completely harmless to the human system when ingested and contains non-allergenic properties? Edible gold is more common than one might think, and it even has its own food additive characterization as E175.
