Our edible gold flakes are made from 24k genuine gold leaf certified by the EU and the US as edible and suitable for consumption (= food coloring # E175) and edible silver (= coloring # E174) is an additive for chocolates, liqueurs, sweets and pastries. Honey, chocolates and cake manufacturers buy these flakes to add a luxury touch to their products. Flakes size 1 is almost powder, size 2 about 1-2mm, size 3 about 3-5mm, size 4 is about 3-7mm, size 0 is the largest, about 2-5cm. Mixed flakes are a combination of 1,2,3 and 4. All the flakes are irregular shapes.

All our gold flakes and leaf contain no chemicals, no vegetal extracts, no anti-oxidants, no bio-additives, no preservatives, and no chelating agents.

24K or 23K? when the flakes are size 1 and 2, they tend to stick together during the manufacturing process because gold is soft. To get around that problem, gold flakes manufacturers add 1% silver to give the gold flakes some strength so that the flakes do not stick together.
