This Royal 24-Karat Gold Plated Chicken Tikka At Gastronomica In South Delhi Will Blow Your Mind

Did you know gold is believed to boost health and improve cognitive skills? We’re not talking about wearing gold, but eating it. Gold particles in food have been part of Indian royalty, Ayurveda and Egyptian history. In the medieval ages, gold leaf was used as a coating on medicinal tablets. The purest form of gold, 24 carats or 23 carats, when consumed in small quantities can improve mental health, boost immunity, fight heart diseases and also act as an aphrodisiac. Today, gold is not just used for medicinal reasons, but as a way to give food a royal touch. Dubai is home to the world’s most expensive biryani topped with 23-carat gold.
