Edible gold leaf has been used for centuries by the rich and wealthy, Italian nobility dined on risotto with edible gold leaf during the sixteenth century. The Elizabethans ate sweets and fruits covered in edible gold leaf, while Japanese had it sprinkled into Sake or tea for a prosperous and longer life.
Today it has become more affordable and used as a final garnish for food and drinks, being popularised with many TV food programs like MasterChef.
