Frequently Asked Questions

Is edible silver leaf safe to eat?

Yes. Food-grade edible silver leaf is certified E174 and is completely safe for consumption. Like edible gold, silver is chemically inert — it has no taste, no odour, and passes through the digestive system unchanged. Always check that any silver product you use on food is explicitly labelled as edible or food-grade, as decorative craft silver is not safe for consumption.

How do I apply loose edible silver flakes without tearing?

Use a dry, clean food-safe brush to pick up and place individual flakes. For a scattered effect, gently tip a small amount from the jar over your surface. Work in a still, draught-free area and keep your hands dry — moisture causes the flakes to stick together and lose their individual appearance. Seal the jar between uses to preserve the flakes.
