Edible gold and silver are tasteless. Edible when used as a decoration. These dragées are produced in various sizes, but tend toward slightly larger than a nonpareil and slightly smaller than a small pearl.

They are difficult to find in stores, but can be found online in all colors and sizes. These Edible Pearls are hand made to order. Sold only by the 100 count.
